J:

How is it possible for one whom you, with a callousness bordering on pachydermatitis, have so caused to lose face to show a visage!!!! Your request, Jack, is surely malap(p)ropriate!

Do not take the bloom off our little verbal joust!

With regards form one Taffydil to another.

My dear erudite Professor Roberts, I am saddened by your calumnious remarks.

 

Further, dear sir, please do us the courtesy of showing your face; do not hide behind that hideous out-of-focus image of a Narcissus  (though in your case, that may be appropriate) sitting on your shoulders.

Dear Jack:

A fine repartee to my riposte - or vice versa! I thank you and assume that you have indeed given me full ab(so)lution! You also see my endorsement of your "value, desire, or need to require (or maybe just request) respondEnts to also present their sentences using the 'more commonly found' wordS in place of those presented for us" since I did use synonyms for the "big" words in my sentence.

Them's fightin' words Prof. Roberts.  But, as Ed McMahon used to say "Here's (the) Johnny!"

Mr. Swansea Jack's desire to menda(u)ciously deny Dai Twaddle reputation as a liar was not only otiose but gravigrade - so sadly irrelevant and heavy-footed - as well as heavy-handed - that it's only reasonable location is Mr. Thomas Crapper's ablutionary mechanism.

I wonder - is there any value, desire, or need to require (or maybe just request) respondants to also present their sentences using the 'more commonly found' word in place of those presented for us?

Thank the Goddess it's not Welsh vocab or I'd be even more stuck!
