I'm working on my Simpsons list, but it's taking a little longer than I expected. So many memories! So many lines!

When I'm at work, in conversation, I'm sometimes accused of using an extravagant word when a more simple one will suffice. My standard response is: "Well, that's a perfectly cromulent word."

From "Lisa the Iconoclast"
Jebediah: [on film] "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."
Edna: "Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield"
Ms.Hoover: "I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word."

Heh-heh.
