For those who don't know, megagaltastic is the adjective indicating that someone (or something, I suppose) is endowed or otherwise in possession with a large and extensive vocabulary.

My first reaction was to nominate Dingle, for he was the first to indicate knowledge of the arcane notion of nigritude ultramarine. Then I realize that dingle is just a drunk keyboard jockey playing lame geek games and that his current working vocabulary is probably 90%+ monosyllabic words. Even with that, 87% of his communication is non-vocabularic grunting nuanced with positive or negative emotional sentiment.

Aydin would have a claim to the title, if it accepted polylinguistic adjucation.

PaintCHiPs gives the impression of being megagaltastic, but he's more garrulous albeit not quite to the loquacity stage as of yet.

SmugGit might be a contender, except that long scientific words really don't count since they only have value in small circles.

lightbulb too has given the impression of being megagaltastic, but I'm inclined to think he's just wry.

Goatboy might qualify, but only because moral decency precludes most of the population from knowing words like "felch."

Oxsan and bunkum probably are the most megagaltastic due to their overall bookishness. Oxsan has the depth of years on his side, but bunkum has put in a performance worthy of commendation in spite of her (formerly?) young age and the cognitive handicap associated with femininity.

What do you think?

Eatme has an extensive vocabulary but says "fuck" a lot. That probably detracts from people noticing the big words.

Dionysian neoplatonism! Brobdignagian obfuscation!

I second Rokkr's nomination.

Wait, I meant group validate.

And CHiPsJr, I know that you have to dumb down your vocabulary to a level understandable by your subjects and thus assumed that your prodigious vocabulary of yore has atrophied from lack of use, like coma muscles.

The ubiquitous presence of language implements online, for the most part obviates any endeavors by the plebiscite to inculcate others with their arcane verbiage.

Vocabulary isn't just knowing a lot of words, it's also an understanding of the myriad ways those words can be used.

Maybe if I'd used "Homo mentalmasturbatus".
