I find people that use the word 'plethora' to be pretentious. Then again, the use of the word pretentious may be a bit pretentious, yes?

But...sometimes it's really just the perfect word: when one has a superfluity of something, when there's plenty to go 'round, when are almost excessive quantities....
I'm not trying to be pretentious: it simply trips off the tongue...
;D

Really though... when is plethora a more perfect phrase than "A lot", "A bunch", "oodles", "Tons", "Scads" or even "heaps"?

Oh no! See, most of those are... well, garage words, almost. Plethora... in my mind, *plethora* sort of plops down and spreads out in front of the social ladies taking tea in Idaho. It's amusing to me, cuz it feels like one of those round spicy peppers that tricks you by being all shiny and pretty on the outside, but when you bite into it, it explodes with seeds that is kind of like getting a mouth full of happy confetti.

*wonders if that made sense to anyone but her*
