is also a pretty good one you see on every post like this, I don't know why but you can always tell when it's used in this way vs just being used out of practice and not being an ESL faggot. It is the very potency it reaches for that makes it so embarrassing, where you can visualise the clenched jaw and pathological self-seriousness of the poster. Reddit coded, loser over 30 coded, woman coded, rape victim coded. But yeah pseud and midwit are elite tier overused terms on /lit/ but they aren't exactly in the category of what OP wants from this thread

Depending on your area imo

>>25563982
In what contexts are you seeing people use these words that they might be saying something else. Wouldn't it be a waste everyone's time to say "what is possible to know, as opposed to just what is actually known" every time you wanted epistemic or "an area of philosophy concerning what exists, exceeding the realm of what is directly empirically testable" every time you wanted metaphysics?
It seems ridiculous to avoid the names of the area of philosophy you're actively talking about, and I can't say I often see people drag them into conversations when they're not warranted.

Itโ€™s okay anon, I know you have trouble with 3+ syllable words, but this isnโ€™t the best place to air out your retarded frustrations.

Aesthetics by far, every mouth-drooler loves to use this word every 20 minutes

Oh neat a pseud thread. For me it's pedestrian or any form of snobbish standoffishness of the sort. We get it Lil bro you're erudite and that makes you elite or something.

This is the only legit one in this thread
There is absolutely no reason to use the word quotidian other than to signal to other homosexuals that your anal glands are ovulating

I have a friend who uses the word "epistemologically" to mean "fundamentally" and it got old. I had to tell him that it's a complex philosophy term, he probably heard it in a video essay or something
>>
>>25564212
This, I don't even know what it means and I'm less inclined to learn the more people use it, lest I realize how much it's misused and make myself angry.

>endogamic

>>25564909
It's a branch of philosophy concerning categories of existence. I don't know why this thread finds pretentious so many words standardly encountered in philosophy. This board must be full of pseuds, like OP. Shame.

Yes? Never read that one before?
