Postprandial edification

'Upper abdominal, post prandial distension,' said Bones.  'What did you say she's got?' asked Captain Kirk.  'Cramps,' replied the good doctor.  (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).

Anything sounds better if you use big words, right?  Unless you are Mr. Darcy, who is too learned to be content with words of four syllables.  So eat your turkey, skip the football and shopping, instead, go read!
