I propose that we engage in a serious discussion and debate about sophisticated topics with far-reaching consequences for all of humanity. Furthermore, we should be as verbose, pedantic, and obfuscatory as possible in order to clearly convey our deep knowledge and masterful understanding of these complex and weighty concepts.
PFFFFffffffffffffffffffffttttttt.
Never use one word where a dozen will work. Being clear and concise opens your ideas up to direct challenge. Verbosity and vagueness are the keys to giving yourself as many ways out as possible.
Are you insinuating directly, indirectly, practically, or theoretically that one should not resort to accurate, awe-capturing words or catch-phrases which beautifully sum up complex arguments, such as in the case of academic jargon in the spirit of: 'Your argument suck', 'You suck', or 'Your argument is about as interesting as the cornflakes I had for breakfast this morning?'.
Liberally jump from one idea, or context, to another in order to display your mental dexterity and quickness. Lead your pursuer on a spirited chase through obfuscation until they eventually realize your amazing argumentative powers and give up.
I see what you did there... But look at this nude and busty mango.
Reference great thinkers of the past as often as possible. Be sure to refer to them only by their last name. This casual association with astounding thinkers clearly expresses how thoroughly familiar you are with their thoughts, thereby displaying your mental greatness. Anyone who disagrees with you can be safely mocked, as they have no right to argue with Immortals.

If you must resort to insults, be sure to accuse your opponent of insulting you first. This will provide you with enough self-righteous indignation to justify your own personal attacks when confronted with an argument you don't feel like countering rationally.
You vile and disgusting anti-Semitic, misogynistic, homophobic, capitalist fascist! How dare you call me irrational!
