some of these pretentious words for plain 'ol jerking off:
to 'toss off' one's todger
'to wank'
'to tug'
baka

>>8697621
Wank is probably the least pretentious word in the English language, 90% of the time I hear it it's being used to make fun of someone being pretentious (what a load of wank; you wanker). Where are you? Are you an American who considers it pretentious because it's said by people putting on fake British accents?

>>8697573
I get the whole idea of having your body be this pinnacle of strength and shit, and I know that Socrates was /fit/. But holy fuck being that large must take up a lot of time and resources. I don't understand the appeal.

If you don't see the difference between the Greeks relatively healthy relationship to fitness and the pathological obsessed fetishist in the OP then you need to leave.

>the Greeks relatively healthy relationship to fitness

It was anything but: the Greeks were fucking obsessed, and rightly so.

The Greeks knew what Humanity has forgotten for the better part of 2000 years - namely, that a strong body is the prerequisite for a strong mind, and NOT vice versa. The fruits of this retarded inversion are seen today in flabby, corpulent figures like Harold Bloom. Pathetic and disgusting.

please read the republic where socrates says that obsessing too much with the body causes a weak soul. he describes the virtue of moderation for this reason

Burger detected. "Wank" is just the normal word. "Masturbate" is pretentious latinate shite.

>confusing socratic and platonic philosophy

seriously?

>>8698298
we were talking about the greeks were we not and not either philosopher? whether it is part of socratic or platonic philosophy is irrelevant. also, youre acting as if there are clear boundaries between the two and not tremendous overlap

the point of my statement was that the value of fitness is overblown. while they may have thought it to be a worthy pursuit, i doubt they would recommend people to go rich piana-mode. its just one of the parts in a much larger picture by which they tried to achieve arete

'To adumbrate' maybe? 'Elucidate' has always struck me as pretty pretentious.

Bivouacked. Came across it in war and peace and it seems like the most unnecessary word in the entire language.

utilize

>>8698395
Its probably a literal translation of a common Russian word.

No words are inherently pretentious; they are merely words, and have an appropriate and inappropriate usage. Except "collocate." It's the pinnacle of superfluity.

The guy literally did a video arguing that having tiny nads from steroid abuse is more aesthetic because it makes your dick hang lower than your balls. So his flaccid penis was never long enough to reach below his normal sized testicles.

He's also injected synthol. I am p sure he did a video where he reckoned that doesn't count because he did it a long time ago or something.

>>8698395
what word would you replace it with?

To socialize

>>8697573
Antidisestablishmentarianism. If you meet one that says this word in a haughty fashion, beware, for you cannot trust them, though pillar of society they may be.

>>8698404
It's just a mild archaism.

I really hate when people say that something "oozes" something.

Oozing shit or pus or something like that is fine. I mean like say when someone is said to ooze charisma.

As in rearing a child.

Never heard it used in a non pretentious manner desu fampai.

What's a verb desu?

>>8699237

Not the poster, but 'encamped' suits just fine in almost any situation where you would use bivouacked. Not that I really mind it, I don't see any problem in using more colorful and descriptive verbiage if it actually serves a use.

>>8699586
okay okay you win

>>8699991
bivouacked is different from encamped though. especially in a militarily context when it is most likely to be used.

this confirms that what most people think of as pretentious is just plebs not understanding the nuance of words

any noun used as a verb

>>8700116

It's not entirely different, and although I wouldn't say they're interchangeable, you could certainly substitute encamped for bivouacked in most situations without your reading audience being totally lost by having used the verb bivouacked.

And you don't have to be a cunt about it, mind you.

It's definitely necessary. It's used a lot by mountaineers

This is normal you know. Balls are as big as they can be and dick is as small as it can be. Makes sense that your cock doesn't droop low if you're a grower.

Consider suicide, you fat virgin unemployed fuck. How many people would mourne if you died? 2? And for how long? People would forget about you within 1 week. You waste of resources. I feel sorry for your parents. Think about your life decisions for 5 minutes before you post again.

>Balls are as big as they can be and dick is as small as it can be. Makes sense that your cock doesn't droop low if you're a grower.
Like the first part was the point and the second part didn't make sense. A grower is more like usually it's small when flaccid, but a grower who has a large erect penis will still have to go through a stage to erection where the penis is long but flaccid.
