Word Power

Do you know the definition of macroverbumsciolist?

The students in teacher Jamie Reuben's Word Power class do!
In case you are wondering, the word means: (1) a person who
is ignorant of large words, or (2) a person who pretends to know
a word, then secretly refers to a dictionary. Word Power is a
semester-long class that introduces students to many new
words by teaching them how to break a word down into its
known parts to arrive at its meaning.
