An absolutely inane conversation I was part of yesterday:

I'm walking towards my desk at work. J-Mac, who was napping on the couch wakes up and asks, "Was I snoring?" Bones says, "No." J-Mac then says, "Sleep apnea," though he has trouble with the apnea part. Bones says, "That's not as bad as Corey, he sleep walks." At this point, I, who am eating a chocolate chip cookie, say, "He's a somnambulist." "What?," Bones asks. I try and chew more rapidly. "He's a somnambulist," I repeat. Bones nods, as if he understands, but then says something about an ambulance. Because apparently when you're talking with your mouth full of cookie, somnambulist comes out sounding like that. The cookie now down my gullet, I say yet again, "He's a somnambulist." A quizzical look tells me I have to explain the word, but really, the moment is lost...

Mom, you were right. I shouldn't talk with my mouth full.

Note to self:
When you are trying to show off your superior lexicon, make sure you are not chewing a very crumbly and somewhat dry chocolate chip cookie at the same time. You just end up sounding stupid.
