quantitatively accurate graphical representations

Ooooh, hello my name is smartypants.PhD and I can use big words.

For those of you perplexed by the above amalgamation of hypertensive and supercharged vocabulary, I don't blame you. Not all of us are that syllable-intensive. Some of us work well in the monosyllabic range of speaking.

I myself prefer to write with only bi-syllable words if I can help it (having to write "syllable" forces me to write 3, but hey, who is counting? oh yeah, right, I am.)

So for those of you who would like the down & dirty on the above 4 words (all in 2 syllable or less words, where possible), here it is.

quantitatively The process of making things quant in a nice manner. To quant is to count in a high-brow kind of way. Kind of like smoking a pipe and wearing an ascot while doing simple math. A degree from harvard helps.

accurate The opposite of inaccurate. When your arrows miss the target, they are not accurate. If you are missing a finger on either hand, you will be less accurate in counting to ten.

Accurate also means "right on." Like in the sentence "That's fly my man, right on!" That could easily be said: "That's a succinct pie chart my fellow mathematician, accurate!"

graphical Anything with pictures. children's books, for example.

representations A signed picture of Bon Jovi instead of the real man. Sex on TV instead of having anyone to have it with in real life. A copy of the original. A reflection.

So all in all, what those original 4 words said is this: "For men in smoking jackets, it's easy to assume that your reflection in the mirror is a pretty image, one that children would like to look on, and hopefully that's true, but not always. Right on!"

And that's all for my interpretative analysis of multi-syllabic words. Join me next time when I tackle: "misanthrophic genderspecific hyperbolic castrations."
