I realize when I am angry or just irritated for whatever reason, my vocabulary intensifies.
I say words that are a part of my vernacular, but I don't use that often because I just don't have a reason to.
I wonder why I do that...No wonder kids hated me in school. I was always irritated and said big words and it scared people.
Whoopies!
No wonder I am a writer though because I like learning new words.
Anyway, I am off to bed before I cause any more damage here. I don't like doing indirect posts, so I won't do any of that bull.
I'm going to go eat a dictionary or something to eat my feelings and learn new words.

@DesirousDreamer It was when I was young, we also studied Latin, that was the origin of our mother language (I am Italian).

@LadyDuck That is awesome, that is hardly touched on anymore, latin. I mean, in schools they barely teach other languages. Before my freshman year in high school they have I think 7 options for language classes, when I came into high school they only had 3 classes and the rest of the years just 2.

Because vocab isn't a big thing taught in schools anymore and others get kind of lazy.

It is correct that when one's angry one uses his vernacular language to express his/her feelings because it is easier for him to do so.

Most of the time people just curse when they are mad.

@DesirousDreamer It happened to me one time too. I got mad to one of the professors in my former work school. He talked in English so talked back in English too.
I can't forget it because I do not usually do that.
