Good.
Being able to talk about difficult things using simple language is a sign that you understand what you talk about.
If you need fancy words, you may not understand the concept behind them, only when to use them.
Or even worse when people are being deliberately pretentious: Look at me, I know all the best words. Aren't I clever :D

I did this once unconscionably because I had a lot of things on my mind and was warned to not do it again.
I'd be perfectly OK with a student using 'regular' words to describe the subject matter. As long as they demonstrate they understand, it's fine with me. In fact, I prefer it over a student trying to come off as smarter than they are.

When I really get into homework I end uo writing proofs in casual language, like if I was out drinking with the bros.

This. The more you understand something, the more diluted you man make it verbally. If you can only convey something through the same pretty, big words, you have memorized it, not understood it.
its the feynman technique at work. Good on you OP.

Freshmen using nonrigorous as if it's a swear word never fails to make me laugh.

You only understand it if you can explain it to a 6yo

Still better than freshmen spouting nonrigorous bullshit about stuff they don't understand.

You only understand it if you can explain it to an autistic 2 yo using only sign language in 5 minutes
