Literally memorize words retard.

/thread

have conversations with people

Keep stuffing shit in until you are full of shit.

Read often. Read academic journals/magazines. Every time you read a word you don't know look up the definition. You'll expand your vocabulary in no time.

Read

Be a pretentious faggot, and use long complicated words, when short ones would suffice, to fool people into thinking you are intelligent.

Granted English isn't my mother tongue, but I want to be more eloquent
I like to be well spoken and very precise when I talk

Read a lot. I read nonstop, and people always think I’m brilliant. I’m not. I work in a grocery store. I’m just autistic as fuck and like books more than people so I’ve ended up knowing more words than the average joe. People genuinely can’t tell the difference. It’s pretty funny.
If I was a more clever man, I’d likely be able to take advantage of this in some way but I’m not so I don’t.

>having nothing better to do except learn words that make you sound intelligent.

I do that and I screenshot the words & number them.

The google translate is neat, it shows similar words to it I'm up to word 524 pic related.

But I don't feel like my vocabulary is expanding, the only times I feel that which are rare occasions is when I'm talking to someone and a word that describes precisely the situation comes to mind and I use it

But that doesn't happen often, and I do not recall some of these words prior to using them, but they just flow when they are meant to be in the convo, is that weird?

Read. Whenever you see a word you don’t know the definition of, look it up.

That's fascinating and very intresting story, would you share some words that are interesting? I read alot and I like learning new words, here's one for you as a gift from me.

A lot of reading witha lot of variey. Dictionary at hone and on person. Wordgames. Do this for a few years, and you will have good vocab. Nit as good as mine. But as good as Brand's. I'm in the 1% vocab elite (NelsonDenny, 99th prcentile).

>doesn’t feel like his vocabulary is expanding
>proceeds to describe a scenario in which his vocabulary is expanded
Fuck off retard i don’t want to help you anymore.

Russell Brand doesn't own Jow Forums, jackass.

drugs and an extrovert personality

I read mate, but did you read the question in OP.
Plenty of people read a lot actually I doubt Russell brand only reads to be that well spoken, plenty of people read, many more than Russle it does not seem plausible, I wonder what techniques he uses

you're fucking autistic bud

Read Tom Sharpe
start with ancestral vices, you will laugh a great deal and learn at the same time

Try learning five new words a week. Use those words every chance you get, even if you just say them in a sentence in your head.
>"That's a nice bauble you have there"
>I just bought a couple baubles online"
Using the same new words correctly over time does the trick for me.

why?

This. Russel Brand is an absolute dickhead.

There's Christopher Hitchens vocab skills then there's pompous skills using obscure vocab for image reasons because your drug fueled ideology is ridiculous and you're trying to appear intelligent.

You read books/academic journals

Interesting take, why the drugs?
Interesting because Brand was a drug addict.

Wouldn't they hinder your progress? I think Russell even mentioned that they set him back, but maybe he's protecting his trade secret.

Can you elaborate pls?

Actually Russell brand might be a poor choice okay, someone truly that I admire when he talks is Noam Chomsky, is he a better example?

Try it out. See if it fits.

What app is that?

well dont do it the way he did it because he doesn't understand half the words he uses

Just browse Jow Forums more. It worked for me. I find myself using fancy words such as 'nigger' and 'faggot' very often.

Bang on. It's painful watching him spew word salad.

Dude just become an editor you'll make bank like mad seriously just enquire about entry qualifications to become one and list your hobbies, you're already leagues ahead of some "professional" SJW journalists.

Because he thinks he's enlightened and his brain is easily stimulated, I dunno. I know some druggies that are similair

>Noam Jewsky
I want you to die.

Just by living on the internet and listening to podcasts I come across a new word every day, sometimes two or three. Look them up each time and in a year you'll have several hundred new words and everyone will think you're a language god.

There's a difference between being articulate and being verbose. Brand is the latter.

People like Russel Brand and Michael Eric Dyson who use obscure words seemingly just to confound people, I don’t think better of them for it. The goal should be to state your meaningless as succinctly as possible such that you’re understood, not to impress people by your knowledge of deal dictionary vocabulary.

People (obviously) have different strengths/weaknesses. He seems to have a particular knack for absorbing words.

Jeez, that guy is such a pretentious twat.
He's the kinda guy that will softly disagree with 98% of the things you say, just to foster a sense of having an "intelligent" debate.
And even with that, he's just regurgitating shit he's heard smarter people talk about, he's not even really sure what he's talking about.

Meaningless = meaning, t. Phoneposter

Petrichor - smell of grass in the air afterr a hard rain
Formication - feeling of ants crawling under your skin
Coruscant - shiny and sparkly, verbatim copy paste to star wars as a planet, tho with a different pronunciation

>have small dick
>use big words
every time

>open dictionary
>use the words you don't understand
>make no effort to understand them

you are still going to be an ugly sperg. just with a big vocabulary.

Exactly this... Empty vessels make the most noise.

Practice. Russell has probably spent more time practicing his act that you have riding a bike in your life time. He's an actor, his persona is an act. This is why people commit suicide, because they are no longer real they are a caricature of their former selves and when they are alone they are with a stranger who hates them.

Read books, remember words.

Read a lot. Cormac McCarthy hits a pretty good balance of using interesting/obscure words without coming across as pretentious. Here's one I learned a few years ago from an political article, it's very practical

>Meretricious - apparently attractive, but having in reality no value or integrity
>synonyms: worthless, cheap, tasteless

Brand is an unmitigated cunt, but if you want to expand your vocabulary its not difficult: read. Not blogs, not newspapers, not even the magazines from the intellectual wing of your fancy. No, read literature and look up words you aren't absolutely certain of. Don't skip because you were able to figure it out from context.

You also need to develop usage. Reading is going to help with that as well. You're unlikely to retain vocabulary unless you use it regularly and you're unlikely to use relatively uncommon words unless you're training yourself to be precise in your language. Somebody just dumping dollar words into their speech when dimes would have been fine just comes off as a cunt.

Look for Eco, Harkaway, Pynchon, Danielewski, Wallace, and the like.

Do you niggers just not read? Read a book written for adults every once in a while and have a high verbal IQ. That's it senpai.

Is going to call that word total bullshit since, as a native English speaker who’s reasonably educated and well read, I not only have no clue what that means, don’t think I’ve ever heard/read it, and (here’s the real killer) would have no idea how to pronounce it.

There are many words I’ve heard/read and forgot their meaning, that trigger that tip of the tongue feeling, that are legit words. But if something could as easily be a totally invented troll word then it’s just not a word anyone today should use.

Books my fellow Australian.

Have superior IQ.

>How does one go on about acquiring an impressively extensive vocabulary range like Russell brand's Jow Forums?

An old trick that's EXTREMELY common in the film industry (for actors as well as other talking heads) is that people will sit down and write out the conversations they had that day, then they'll go through and actually study them, grab a thesaurus and dictionary and re-write them. After studying your own speech patterns for a while and starting to actually think critically about what you're saying and how (something most people really don't do) your brain gets better at substitutions, paragraph structure shifts and your base vocabulary will have expanded ten fold.

Just trying to absorb random words out of context really won't help, at best you'll just learn to regurgitate on command.......although in this day and age, that's all you need to stand out because most people are drooling fucktards.

>impressively extensive vocabulary range like Russell brand's
MALAPROPISMS.

read books dumb abo

Read books.

Google it, it's a real word. I had to look it up after I read it, because I'd never seen it before in my life.

The act of writing on it's own will do that. Fiction, poetry, academic work, its all just building skill. The problem for someone who doesn't speak English as a first language is that they're likely not encountering enough new words to make those structural language exercises matter. A thesaurus generally doesn't have much in the way of uncommon or specialized language and the lack of context and association means that subtle usage mistakes are going to be a lot more common.
