I refuse to get involved with a certain discussion or the word obstreperous, especially after getting nicked over using a 3 syllable word, but here’s a link to clear up any dictionary hiccups.
http://www…streperous
Nowhere in the definition did I see anything about knowledge, integrity, or honesty. I’ll take an obstreperous, honest, decent, knowledgable person of integrity over a smiling crook anyday.
That is, if I can ever remember that obscure word!
At the outset I was somewhat befuddled and the sibylline nature of this denotation. Nevertheless, being of the inquisitive type I endeavored to ascertain the antecedent conditions underlying it emergence.
Alas, sometimes people can just be obstreperous and obtuse.
I personally don’t engage in multisyllabic phraseology.
My brain hurts.
Hey! I resemble that remark! Nyuk nyuk!
Eschew obfuscation.
Mad props for efficacious brevity.
I missed the first half of this I guess, how about this for a reply?
?I prefer the wisdom of the unlearned to the folly of the loquacious?

Brain hemorrhage more later!
loquacious
1.
talking or tending to talk much or freely; talkative; chattering; babbling; garrulous: a loquacious dinner guest.
2.
characterized by excessive talk; wordy: easily the most loquacious play of the season.
Contrary to what many think, it is not obstreperous to refuse to look up definitions.
I hope, OK, that you understood I was trying my pathetic best to make a funny, based on the comment about using big words.
