I haven't played poker for 15 months, I have no idea why I'm here.

I think a lot of these words more accurately describe something than the words you could replace them with.  The best example I can come up with (which wasn't included here but illustrates it) is the word melancholy.  You could substitute sadness for it but it doesn't quite have the same meaning and melancholy is more descriptive.  In many ways it is like the old adage about eskimos having hundreds of different words for snow - it depends upon how simply or otherwise you want to be able to describe or explain something.

gonna keep this brief as I'm a bit drunk but a quick convo in the pub tonight between myself, claw and andrewt saw us in agreement that we couldn't believe that someone who likes dating strippers doesn't know what a manacle is. you need to meet dirtier strippers

we should have just asked matt when we saw him in the pub later (although you may have been off removing your hoops then)

I think its just about what you know/don't know. I wouldn't say my vocab range was particularly good, and there were plenty that i didn't know. On the other hand I research/read often obscure medical based stuff a lot, so regularly come across a lot of the latin based words.

Personally i'm a lazy fucker, and use basic English most of the time.
