1. Excessively ornate or complex in style or language; grandiloquent: turgid prose.
Don't you think that if you use the word "turgid" to criticize someone else's prose as being excessively complex, you're being a little hypocritical?

i concur.
("turgid" was one of those words i never knew quite what it meant, but always pretended i did if i came across it. it's always seemed to me like a cross between turbulent and frigid so i think of a cold and stormy sea.)
also, your post made me think of that wilco song "pot kettle black."
hmm, never heard that song before. is it good?
also, i have to use the word grandiloquent REALLY soon...maybe on the gmat this weekend...
