Dormancy of Solitude and other “cool” ‘GREword’ titles

I know its a cool title but that’s about it. I have no idea what it means, what it symbolizes or what I am supposed to write in order to justify it. Here I was wondering what to write when ‘dormancy’ and ’solitude’ stumbled into my consciousness and I went … “those  are cool words, i wonder how i can use them…”. Of course I couldn’t think of any logical sense or post, but I went ahead and used it just like countless other people who use these words all the time but don’t really know the context in which they are supposed to be  used. So instead of reading a simple statement like “Beauty is only skin deep” you get something like “Pulchritude possesses solely cutaneous profundity” which seems far more cooler and intellectual than its normal counterpart.

You can easily identify these people. They will hang around the library during the day, mugging up wordlist after wordlist as they munch biscuits along with it and as the clock strikes 5 pm would return to their rooms all ready to juxtapose their new-found knowledge onto other people’s social networking profiles. You will receive on an average 2 comments on each of your photos with due usage of wordlist 37 crammed during the daytime. As you struggle to discover the context of these often illogical statements you will be confounded with more of the same kind of barrage. These are also the people who curiously use abnormal amount of smileys in their comments. These people use a or or to punctuate their statements instead of commas and full-stops like normal people. Its tough to understand why they feel the need to hang their tongue out or bare their canines at every possible moment but I believe talking to these people in person would be a real pain. I mean can you imagine talking to someone who does this ( ) after every sentence regardless of whether its funny or not.

Most people take this crap called GRE* and move on. But some people believe now that they know a few more words than an average joe their opinions suddenly matter. No they don’t, if you were ignored before it was not because of your vocab but because you are a dumbass. Only now, you are a dumbass with a mental thesaurus which impresses nobody by the way.

GRE – a curiously funny test that is culturally biased, mathematically retarded and linguistically unrealistic. I am pretty sure more than half the words in Barron’s are never used by working professionals again in their lives.
