denouement

highfalutin language："Highfalutin language" refers to overly fancy, pretentious, or pompous language—words or phrases that sound sophisticated but may come across as exaggerated or unnecessary. It's often used to impress or sound more important than needed.

For example:
✅ Simple: "She was very happy about her promotion."
❌ Highfalutin: "She experienced an ineffable elation upon the culmination of her vocational advancement."

It’s not always bad, but using too much of it can make writing or speech seem unnatural or hard to follow. Want me to help simplify something? ????
