"err" i love it.

i love studying words and language, (hence my William Safire 'On Language' obsession), but i really don't think you need to use big words to sound smart. it's the idea you convey that really matters. nonetheless using "big words" definitely helps to get that A+ on a speech or report. simple people are wowed when they hear a speaker that can actually manipulate the english language properly, like it's some kind of talent.
but anyway, my favorite "big word" is actually very short.
"err" i love it.
"Oops, sorry, I've erred."

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911
