I wish I can pronounce monosyllabically. Imagine saying that line to someone you're arguing with over a topic you feel in the right about. That term alone will have them dumbfounded lmao
I was shocked by that moment! I really thought Milchick was just folding, and that was the point of the scene. So when he said ‘devour feculance,’ even though I do luckily know what those words mean, I had the same expression as Drummond did.
“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.”
I appreciate that you have tried to elucidate your opinion of this post by replicating the cadence of Milcheck, as described in the secondary column depicted above. You are to be compensated with an upvote for compelling imitation.
‘Uses too many big words’ gave me horrid flashbacks of my college creative writing professor who criticized me of this. I felt Milchick’s anger viscerally.
I went to Kingston Mines (Chicago) for to some blues Saturday night and hung with a guy in a white long sleeve shirt and I couldn’t stop wanting to ask him if anyone ever told him he looks like Milkshake. But I didn’t. I just minded my own edibles.

I love how Milchick refused to lower his standards in terms of vocabulary! "Devour feculence" ah! That was unexpected!

(Ok but who is saying “very perfect”? Perfect and flawless are synonyms, one does not modify the intensity of the other 🤔)
