You’re All Peasants
We have a tendency to use words we just learned as much as possible, even if it doesn’t make sense in the sentence or context. There’s something about using big words and seeming like you’re intelligent that really attracts us. A way to look smart is by using high-level terms.
It also boosts our self-esteem. Whether you like it or not, we all require this type of confidence boost from time to time. This traditional painting captures exactly what it feels like when you say something clever – or anything that you believe appears intelligent and amazing.
