From fifty cents to five dollars

Growing up we had words,

fifty cent words were those big words used by smart tarts.

Or folks accused to “gettin’ above their raisin’.”

They were used brazin’. 

Sometimes correctly,

sometimes not. 

Now thanks to inflation, 

or creation.

Hasenpfeffer

Haberdasher

Flabbergasted 

kerfuffle 

Obfuscate

Boondoggle

Fastidious 

Could you please speak English?

What’s wrong with;

Rabbit stew

Men’s clothing 

Shocked

A fuss

Unclear

No real value

Detail oriented 

It makes my head hurt. 

Words

Words 

Words

Sometimes it’s just absurd.
