That feel when you normally do this but you get drunk as fuck and start dropping big words all over the place and talking about the flaws of Austrian economics with hot chicks.

I stick to one or two word responses because I have no fluency when it comes to verbally communicating, so it's needless to say I never get the chance to use what some people consider "big words".

I do remember a specific case where someones lack of vocabulary skills caused for an awkward situation. A girl in class gave me some hypothetical situation, I think it was about a friend of hers -- anyway, I remember responding with "the latter sounds best" and she said "what ladder?"

How is anyone suppose to know what the limitation of another person's vocabulary? Do i judge by their race oe what they're wearing? These kinds of preconception could always be wrong; looks can be deceiving, and I don't really want to offend anyone. These kind of social situations scare me. I think I'll just stick to not talking to anyone.
