Line 2:
When the only person who gets to speak with [[Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic|realistic diction]] is the brilliant but quirky scientist. Maybe you want to show that the character in question thinks so fast they they have to [[Motor Mouth]] to try to keep up. To be less charitable to the actors and writers, maybe it's what perfectly sensible Clever Stuff sounds like when you don't understand most of the words.
 
This character may also use characteristic phrases of [[Buffy -Speak]]. The reason that most characters don't speak like this is because [[Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic]].
 
If they're using a lot of big words, it's [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]. If they're tossing out [[Tourettes Shitcock Syndrome|swear words]] or slang just as frequently, they're [[Sophisticated As Hell]]. The opposite of this, where a character speaks in highly-calculated terms, is [[Spock Speak]].
