I don’t really care for compliments tbh but to each their own. But it has become so rare now a days with the dumbing down of society people need a reminder once in a while you notice their intellect.
Doc Savage’s pulp adventures inspired Superman, Indiana Jones, and Batman. One of his assistants was Johnny, who loved using polysyllables. “I’ll be superamalgamated!” was his favorite exclamation.
Cartoon legend Jack Kirby created The Newsboy Legion. One of the members was ‘Big Words,’ who tried to live up to his name.
Fats Waller was a singer/song writer. In his comic, “You’re Feets Too Big” he explained that ‘your pedal extremities are too obnoxious.’
These days, any scientific explanation in fiction is apt to be followed by “slower and in English.”

the use of uncommon words is not a sign of intelligence, it just means you know more words
kind of like Malcom X reading the dictionary in prison?
he definitely did know more words if that’s all he did in prison lol
