i_shmael цитирует прекрасное из автобиографии Грейвза, про Лоренса Аравийского:
Professor Edgeworth, of All Souls', avoided conversatonal English, persistently using words and phrases that one expects to meet only in books. One evening, Lawrence returned from a visit to London, and Edgeworth met him at the gate. "Was it very caliginous in the Metropolis?"
"Somewhat caliginous, but not altogether inspissated", Lawrence replied gravely.

Once the romance starts to stink you'll dump his ass down the drain like sour milk and go back to being "unevolved Robin," the one we actually like. Back me up here Ted
Ted: I'm just happy Robin's happy.
Barney: I'm telling you within three days...
Lily: Oh, here he comes, switch to big words.

Barney: Within a triad of solar periods, you'll recognize your dearth of compatibility with your paramour and conclude your association.
Robin: My journey was transformative and I reassert my commitment to both the aforementioned paramour and the philosophies he espouses.
Gael: What are we talking of? Baseball?
Barney: This is all gonna return to masticate you in the gluteals. Support my hypothesis, Ted.
Ted: I'm just jubilant my former paramour is jubilant.
