Not words as they are, but people who use words to look important or confuse others.
As an example, I read some years ago a text about school. To describe a ball (soccer), the writer used in French 'référentiel bondissant' that can roughly translate as 'leaping reference'. In the same text, that person used some expression I can only translate as 'learner's begetter' to describe parents.
And it was a serious text, at least I assumed it to be, the source being the French Ministry of Education .
