Do only Tossers or 'Artistes' use words like Juxtaposition

    Check out the clip on Rte http://www.rte.ie/news/av/2011/0909/media-3047573.html

    Not only does the builder do a Phoenix Nights CrimeTime style blatant plug but the man who conceived the idea starts talking about juxtapositions towards the end.

    Note: Im only posting this because an AH mod commented on my previous AH post entitled "Thin Lizzy / Life (Live)" with the closing comment "Im sure there is a more appropriate forum but cant remember. Any ideas???" after he or she locked it. This unlawful closing of aforementioned thread reminded me that I should have posted this question weeks ago.

    I remember using it in an actual sentence on an AH post a few years back.

    Good times.

    Recently, 4 different teachers of mine used the word 'juxtaposition' in varying contexts over the course of a week.

    Was weird.

    Why get the hump if someone uses the total parameters and vocabulary available to them?

    Why indulge in hyperbole, and exaggerated reaction to what surely should be a trait to be admired and display a disingenuous and frankly obtuse view of how language should be articulated.


    Tossers are monosyllabic creatures my friend, that has been by life experience anyway
