Hahaha, so true!
Luckily nowadays my aquaintance is older and more intelligent than it was some years ago and so I can use complex language as I wish without being beaten the crap out of.

No, I use complex language so that the idiot I'm insulting doesn't understand, so he doesn't beat me up. Or I lower my level of language so the person can understand.
I had a verbal joust with an idiot today. He kept on insulting me, and I always had a one line response that was better.
Him: I fell from heaven. That's why all the girls like me.
Girl: (sitting next to us) Uh huh. Sure.
Me: He forgot to mention that he landed on hi shead when he fell from heaven.
Him: So did you!
Me: Yeah, but I landed on a trampoline. You landed on a rock.
Him: I spend half an hour on my hair every morning.
Me: I spend no time at all on my hair in the morning. (I have long hair, for a guy, just short of shoulder length)
Him: We can tell.
Girl: (Same one) *trying to keep the peace* Hey, I like his hair, it's cool.
Me: Sure, it's obvious that spend no time on my hair. But it looks like you don't either.
Him: Why do you have long hair anways?
Me: Because I like my hair long.
Him: Well, why don't you style it more?
Me: Because I hate you.
Him: Huh?
Me: I don't have to look at it, why should i care how it looks? Since you care
so much about how I look...
So, as much as I occasionally do use big words, when I'm talking to people who don't understand them, and I want them to understand the insult, I use a quick wit rather than large words.
I don't get beaten up for using big words. We have cops in my school. Cops with guns. And I'm big, for my age, stronger than most of the other people, (not as strong as the "jocks" but stronger than a lot of other people) and most importantly, I'm very, very, fast at running away. I won't fight unless I think there's a good chance I'll win, and the fight is necesary, or if I'm forced to. (self defense)
