# Fancy pooh — Meme Lab

Use when a plain description is contrasted with an overly refined alternative

- What it expresses: A simple term is replaced by an unnecessarily pretentious version
- Example: A child describes a toy as 'a block' but says it's 'a meticulously crafted architectural marvel'
- When not to use it: Avoid when a plain description is already sufficiently refined without pretension
