Sesquipedalian: A long word, or characterized by the use of long words. From the Latin roots meaning "a foot-and-a-half long."
Loquaciousness: That would be garrulousness, verboseness, effusiveness. How about "chattiness"?
A predilection by the intelligentsia to engage in the manifestation of prolix exposition through a buzzword disposition form of communication notwithstanding the availability of more comprehensible, punctiliously applicable, diminutive alternatives. Also known as "gross verbosity". Related to this is the use of inkhorn terms, loanwords from a foreign origin that are pretentious to an average speaker.
In brief: "smart" characters using long words when short ones would be better, especially when they are also motor mouths. Characters afflicted with this trait often seem to go out of their way to over-complicate their speech, probably because writers think that this is the only way to show that someone is more intelligent than the average writer. This could also be the trait of a particularly anal-retentive character who always has to be right, the trait extending so far that the character always has to use exactly the right word — never using "blue" when "azure" or "indigo" or even "royal blue" would be more accurate, for example.
Occasionally such characters may drop the long words if things get particularly dire, to emphasize just how bad things are (in the same way as a Sarcasm Failure). Alternatively, they may get even more wordy as they get more emotional, leading to increasingly detailed but ultimately incoherent ranting that falls too easily into wangst. Frequently another character will respond with something like "Wouldn't it be easier to just [whatever the brainy person said, in layman's terms]?" or "And [layman's terms version], too!" In The United States, when someone really has no idea what the person says, they'll say something like, "Could you repeat that in plain ol' Galveston English?"
Williams Syndrome can lead to this kind of behavior. People with Asperger Syndrome and some forms of Dyslexia may do this in an attempt to be as precise as possible, ironically making themselves harder to understand.
The Narcissist, The Paranoiac, and other less-than-pleasant personalities may engage in this as well, often to try and convince others—or themselves—that they are smarter than most people. On a more sinister level, it can also be used as a form of verbal Gaslighting, in order to confuse, swamp, and manipulate the receiver so that a particular end may be met. The Con Man sometimes makes use of this trope too when passing off as a professional or an expert in their apparent "field", duping others into thinking that the only reason they don't understand what they are selling is that they are smarter than them or that they can trust them, when in fact they are spouting nonsense and looking to take advantage of their ignorance.
While maintaining a strong endeavor to avoid flogging a deceased equine, or beat a dead horse, in some cases technical jargon is necessary to be understood, but in too many cases a person doesn't consider that the audience is not that technically inclined and a simpler, although less precise description would work just as well.
One of the symptoms of Spock Speak, but averted in a good Private Eye Monologue. Usually also a Motor Mouth. Goes well with British accents, too. Used frequently in Sommelier Speak. Often takes advantage of the fact that Talking Is a Free Action, and could be a case of Acoustic License if the surroundings would make it difficult to hear clearly in the first place, much less understand the words. Can often lead to an Expospeak Gag. See also Techno Babble, Antiquated Linguistics, Sophisticated as Hell, Technical Euphemism, and Department of Redundancy Department. May result in Calling Me a Logarithm. If someone tries for this and can't get the words right, they're perpetrating Delusions of Eloquence. If the author commits this, see Purple Prose. The word Antidisestablishmentarianism is almost guaranteed to show up as well.
Very heavily associated with the Steampunk genre in particular, and Truth in Television in that case, as the Victorians did speak a form of English that was more complex and verbose.
It's worth noting that there is a word for the fear of long words; ironically, it's "sesquipedalophobia" often exaggerated by people into "hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia". There is an element of Artistic License – Linguistics involved, as "phobia" is a Greek root, while "sesquipedalo-" is Latin *In fact, Greek lost the chw, qu, and gw sounds around 1000 BC; that's why we say "phobia" rather than "phogwia". note Not that there would be any lack of such Greco-Roman hybrids in real life: see automobile (not autocinetum or ipsemobile), homosexuality (not parisexuality, although homoerotism can indeed occasionally be encountered) or television (not teleskopia or remotovision) See also Scary Science Words.
The polar opposite of Buffy Speak and Layman's Terms. Big Words redirects here, for those of us who prefer to avert this trope in Real Life (or are just incapable of spelling it correctly off the tops of our heads). Contrast the Laconic Wiki. Compare and contrast Proverbial Wisdom for the typical speech patterns of wise, enlightened, and spiritual characters who use a lot of riddles, proverbs, and flowery metaphors. Also note the similarity to Techno Babble. May require one to have a Translator Buddy.
When a character attempts this but lacks the vocabulary to follow through properly, see Malaproper.

Stewart Pearson in The Thick of It is a political media strategist, who seems to have absolutely no communication skills, and whose speech consists entirely of buzzwords and nonsense. In the penultimate episode, it's revealed that he isn't doing this on purpose, he really thinks he's speaking in plain English, and using simple words and clear phrases requires real physical effort on his part.

Lincoln: Rep. Fernando Wood, the main orator for the pro-slavery Democrats, gives loud and wordy speeches in a hammy manner, which his opponents sometimes mock.note Truth in Television; The real Wood actually was quite hammy and was even censured by Congress after an 1868 speech where he insulted everyone in the House.

X-Men:
Doctor Henry McCoy, a.k.a. Beast, does this all the time. In most incarnations, it's for the joy of wordplay — everyone he works with already knows he's a genius — though it undoubtedly has a side effect of convincing people he's never met before that even mutants who look like him can possess an enormous vocabulary. Interestingly, in his earliest appearances in the X-Men comic, he was not portrayed as particularly intelligent. However, Stan Lee decided his behavior too closely resembled the Thing from the Fantastic Four and upgraded his intelligence and vocabulary in order to set him apart.
And he does it with insults, too; "go suck eggs" becomes:
The X-Men Noir version of the Beast, while genuinely intelligent (but not to the exaggerated levels of the normal one), goes out of his way to use larger words that he doesn't quite understand because it gives him a stronger air of intelligence.
Forge does this a couple of times. One time, he goes into a lengthy plan involving geometry at a football game huddle, causing everyone to get confused.
The X-Men's Dr. Nemesis often does this, specifically as a means to insult or talk down to anyone he believes to be less intelligent than himself. That is to say, everyone. It gets hilariously played with when a telepathic starfish latches onto his face and begins broadcasting all of his inner thoughts:

French comic book Achille Talon could have practically defined this trope. The hero, a fat bourgeois, as well as most of his entourage, adds verbosity to pedantry and pretentiousness to gullibility in an incredible verbal creativeness.

Tales of Monkey Island:
In "Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay", Guybrush has another meaning to "You suck!":
Near the end of Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, when Guybrush asks De Singe what he's doing with the Vaycaylian Wind Control Device (before attempting to toss La Esponja Grande into the device), De Singe replies, "You see, using my handbuilt Harpsichronitron, in conjunction with my Oscimoligrophiscope to seek out a resonant frequency with the Vaycaylian Climatiphone, I hope to anatomize living tissue on a macroscopic basis!" Guybrush, however, becomes clueless and can ask De Singe to repeat with the purposes of all this machinery, and De Singe can translate that he's using the piano device ("this machine") to make the Wind Control Device ("that machine") "smash people into a fine powder," which, of course, causes Guybrush to say, "Hey, that's not very nice!"

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century used this trope at times, especially in the earlier episodes. Often lampshaded by having Buck be increasingly irritated at having to stop and figure out the "simplistic" 20th-century equivalent for whatever the other characters are talking about.

Suicide for Hire's characters all use long words, and a lot of 'em. The comic's banner has a caption reading "Yeah, it's got dialogue. If you don't like it, you are entitled to bite my ass."

The "genius" types on Bones, including the character nicknamed "Bones", do this often. Justified, in that those who do so outside of the professional circumstances in which it's expected to show other signs of Asperger's as well, particularly Dr. Zack Addy.
Brennan once agreed with someone by saying, "I concur. Vehemently!"
And then there's this exchange from "The Titan on the Tracks":
Dr. Gordon Wyatt does this too, possibly because he's played by Stephen Fry

The Simpsons:
"Bart's Friend Falls in Love" has Homer start talking like this after a Sleep Learning tape intended to curb his hunger is switched with a vocabulary builder. "Lamentably, no. My gastronomic rapacity knows no satiety." Later played with, when Homer loses his vocabulary without regaining his ability to communicate succinctly.
Some of the more intellectually inclined Springfield residents (Sideshow Bob, Professor Frink) occasionally indulge in this. And then there's Mr. Burns and his Antiquated Linguistics. Being the aesthete that he is, Sideshow Bob, however, rejected the sesquipedalian but inelegant "disembowel" in favour of a much shorter word when he wrote down what to do with Bart in Cape Feare:

Eureka:
Pretty much every scientist speak this way. Justified since Carter is the only person in town who can't understand this, and given the problems involve complex science they likely feel that a detailed explanation would be necessary. Henry usually serves as translator.
A lot of them were also just arrogant. When someone interrupts your lunch there is no reason a normal person would respond, "Can't a man masticate in peace?"

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Captain Qwark disguised as Abercrombie Fizzwidget does this... or at least tries to. However, he just comes off looking like a total moron as he constantly spews words that don't exist. The real Fizzwidget doing this correctly is about the only character trait we see of him in his short amount of screen time.

His flavour text not only refers to the trope but one of his ability, "Voluminous Vocabulary" weaponizes this by confusing the enemies.

Ao in Asteroid in Love has the tendency to use very exact and technical vocabulary when explaining astronomy, regardless of the audience. The effect of this varies; Ao's explanations scared a toddler, but got a few other people—including Mira—interested in astronomy. It is also deconstructed in the Shiny Star Challenge arc; she doesn't get into the eponymous science summer camp because she wrote the entrance essay that way—she wrote dozens of pages, and cut it down to two.

Eugene on Adventures in Odyssey speaks this way to the point of hilarity or exasperation, depending on who he's speaking to.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) more than any other incarnation, Donatello is guilty of this. He frequently geeks out about future technology or the chemical properties of things he runs across, and Techno Babble ensues. One of the others (usually Michelangelo, but occasionally Raphael) acknowledges this, and usually asks him to repeat himself in English this time. Though sometimes the writers sacrifice snappier dialogue to remind us that he's the smart one:

V of V for Vendetta introduces himself like this, complete with oodles of alliteration. He calms down eventually but still speaks very intelligently.

Valve's Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (Gravity Gun) from Half-Life 2, and Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (Portal Gun) from Portal, as well as many of the utterances of the Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System from the latter title. The latter partially comes from the Aperture Science folk wanting to stick their name in front of everything (Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill, Aperture Science High-Energy Pellet, Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vent, etc).
Dr. Kleiner is likewise rather prone to communicating in this manner, especially when the nature of his audience makes it inappropriate.

Hamlet spoofs it with the character Osric, who desperately tries to look intelligent by talking this way. Hamlet mocks him by going even farther over the top with it. As you might imagine, a Shakespeare speech that's deliberately written to be obtuse and impenetrable is quite something to witness.
Polonius and his love of speaking many words! "Brevity is the soul of wit," indeed.
And the Archbishop in Henry V, whose loquaciousness over Henry's right to the French crown is usually played for laughs, but also hides the reality that Henry's claim to the English crown was almost as weak (his father having been a usurper)
Holofernes and Nathaniel's copious amounts of latin in Love's Labour's Lost also qualifies.

Baldur's Gate II:
One character encountered early speaks like this, and uses it as evidence that he is more intelligent than everyone around him. If your own character has a high enough Intelligence score, you can insinuate (in a similarly roundabout, verbose way) that you think he does so to make up for a rather private "deficiency" on his part.
Edwin too, IS this trope.

In Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal 2010-08-02, a scientist creates an invention called the logogeneplex, which turns clear wording into this. Example: "We used a ruler" becomes "We utilized a linear distance analyzer."

Tom in The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan is practically defined by this trope, to the point where his siblings have commented more than once about how they wished he'd speak English. Also in "The Greek Caper", Tom was about to offer his suggestion on how to search for missing statue and was gently told by Alan to "keep it simple". Henry lampshades this in the comic book adaptation of "To Catch A Pitcher":

Enchanted Forest Chronicles:
The nerdy magician Telemain always talks like this, with Morwen usually having to translate for him. However, when he is glared at hungrily by Kazul, a sentient dragon, he manages to speak normally, albeit very very slowly.
Also used in Dealing with Dragons of the same series, in regards to a book on the Caves of Fire and Night. At the end, Morwen says something about how the magic had worked, and Cimorene exclaims, "Just the way that impossible book says!" and Morwen responds, "Demontmorency? Yes, I suppose he is fairly impossible."

Taken to ridiculous extremes in the fan-made Phylomortis RPG Maker games where every single character spoke in nothing but big words... including children no older than six years old. Even the in-game tutorials abused this. That, coupled with their Nintendo Hardness made the series inaccessible to all but the most dedicated gamers. The sole gimmick of the game was its ridiculous standard of vocabulary, however, so it's safe to say that its target audience (however small) was indeed captured. Not just the characters. Most of the menu commands and system dialogue, too. Most games would be content with ending a battle with "Victory!" or "You won the battle!" Phylomortis capped it off with "You mercilessly slew the obnoxious foe..."

Both Calvin and Hobbes from Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes are known for having particularly verbose discussions with each other. This is occasionally mentioned, such as in the Tenth Anniversary Collection, in contrast with his usual failing grades at school.
He must obey the inscrutable exhortations of his soul.
He once wrote a book report entitled "The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in Dick And Jane: A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender Modes."
What if someone calls us a pair of pathetic peripatetics?
Calvin likes to use this to insult the school bully in a way he knows Moe won't understand.
Word of God also says he liked Calvin's ability to precisely articulate stupid ideas.

Power Rangers:
Billy on the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers spoke like this; every time he said anything, everyone looked expectantly at Trini until she translated. However, when the situation became truly dire, he sometimes lapsed into regular speech; whether this meant he used big words to show off intelligence or the show had bad writers was never explained. This tended to get phased out as the seasons went on as if his hanging out with the other teens helped him pick up their speech habits (or possibly because Trini had left). Ironically, most people watching the show on TV could understand him fine, or at least guess the intent of his statements by context. It's only in-universe that everybody but Trini is left utterly confused. The best example of this is "Life's A Masquerade" when he gives the Morphing Call for the first time. Instead of the standard "It's Morphin' Time" Billy-Speak turns it into "It's time for Molecular Transmutation." However, by Season 3, he called out a standard "It's Morphin' Time".
Power Rangers RPM's'' Dr. K does this on occasion (i.e. when she's not being blunt), including to hilarious effect in "Ghosts" when she threatens her leader, Colonel Truman, with inserting laxative into his coffee mug, which would lead to a case of explosive diarrhea.
In Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Monster of the Week Boxing Bop-a-roo had such a bad case of this that Lothor indirectly accused him of making up Perfectly Cromulent Words by starting a "Made-Up Word Jar". On top of that, many other characters suffered from the fact that he Got Me Doing It.

The nonfictional portion of The Science of Discworld points out that without the use of "privatives" in language — terms for the absence of things, such as "dark" (no light), "cold" (lack of heat), or "sober" (a state of non-intoxication) — everyone would have to talk like this.

Final Fantasy XIV: Urianger does it for even the most basic conversations. While he is indeed very intelligent and a useful source of exposition for the player, he seems to go out of his way to make every explanation he gives as long winded as possible due to his own flair for the dramatic. Several characters often remark that he is want to use ten words where one would suffice.

The Gnomes as a whole from World of Warcraft tend to do this, best exemplified by some of their jokes and flirt emotes.
In Battle For Azeroth, this even stretches to the ability names of a tribe of gorillas who have been feeding on kaja'mite; a mineral substance discovered by goblins that enhances intellect. The rank-and-file use an ability called Parabolic Excrementnote Hurling their crap at you while the tribe's leader - King Da'ka - often uses one called Locomotion Via Ballistic Trajectory... which is just a copy of the Warrior's Heroic Leap.

An overly-complex vocabulary was the major character trait of William Harper "Johnny" Littlejohn in the Doc Savage novels. Throughout the series, Johnny was always careful to use regular words around Doc Savage, mainly because Doc would have understood everything he was saying so it wouldn't have been any fun. The other members of the team also suspected that he often used his big words incorrectly, and didn't want Doc to catch him at it. His tendency to use big words also bit him in the ass once. He was captured by a group of criminals, whose sadistic leader had no patience with Johnny's vocabulary. Johnny was warned that if he used a single big word while answering questions, he'd get the beating of a lifetime. Sure enough, Johnny forgets and uses a big word...and an absolutely brutal beatdown ensues.

Perceptor, of The Transformers. It's particularly bad when your fellow robots, all of whom would likely have the whole of a given language in their databanks, ask you to say something "in [language], please". It probably doesn't help that he has a habit of going into details WHILE using complex words, to the point where Optimus tires of it in seconds. It's actually kind of justified; he's a gifted scientist in multiple areas, is used to thinking of these high-end areas in their scientific terms, and like any good real-life scientist, is really enthusiastic about his subject(s), and likes to discuss them when the opportunity comes up.
Grimlock also does it when he gets smart in the episode "Grimlock's New Brain".
I, Grimlock, after being gifted with remarkable intelligence, also speak in this manner in the mirror universe.
Highbrow is also guilty of this, in "The Rebirth".
Oddly enough, Brainstorm, who was the actual smart guy of the Headmasters team, spoke fairly commonly unless he actually needed the jargon. Highbrow just did it to sound smart.
You don't wanna get Genius Ditz Bulkhead from Transformers: Animated talking about space bridges. You'll miss Perceptor.
Across all series, Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" is in effect and machine-related terms with elements of the Cybertronian life-cycle mixed in are always used. This can leave characters who are not supposed to be geniuses talking as if the X-Men's Beast taught them English on the way in. They're not parents, they're "protoform batch initiators." Even the show's tagline, "More than Meets the Eye", can be given onscreen as "more than meets the optic sensors."

Ben 10: Alien Force:
As Brainstorm (a "seafood platter with a rather high IQ", as he puts it), Ben 10 is prone to using extremely large words. With a British accent. His previous "smart form", Greymatter, tended to use words of a more normal size unless referring to scientific principles.
The Vreedle Brothers are a bizarre combination of erudite and slow-minded idiots.

The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon talks like this all the time. Any of the four main geeks do this often, mostly between themselves or colleagues when discussing theories or projects, but are quick to drop it around Penny as to include her... well, except for Sheldon, but he expects people to accommodate him in any situation, and will complain about having to do so for others. Sheldon even talks like this when he's speaking to Penny about simple everyday things; he usually ends up having to put things in Layman's Terms for her and never seems to realize that he should have just done so in the first place.

The Ultimate Warrior was also famous for this, interspersing feral snarling, grunting, and shouting with long, rambling promos peppered with million-dollar words used almost-correctly. In his later years, he even started throwing in words he made up out of whole cloth, apparently believing his character motivations to be too complex to explain in the English language as it stands.

Rose Lalonde from Homestuck. She wrote a game FAQ entirely using this and Purple Prose, just for one example.
An eventual character corresponding to her via IM services, Kanaya, has just as big a vocabulary if not more so, and applies it in a less purple and more literal way.
Equius falls victim to this from time to time.
Eridan also appears to have quite an extensive vocabulary and is not hesitant to show it.
And Kankri blows them all out of the water. He rarely has anything to say that isn't at least a few pages long, leaving the poor Karkat completely speechless upon their first meeting in [S] ACT 6 INTERMISSION 3.
Aranea too, as well as Vriska. It's apparently a common trait among Light aspect players, which is fitting because Light seems to be about information.

Deadwood:
E.B. Farnum, an oily Smug Snake with a Small Name, Big Ego, is very prone to waxing overly poetic in an attempt to pass himself off as better than he is. He has an annoying habit of repeating Swearangen's statements back to him with slightly more complex language, causing him to get reprimanded.
A.W. Merrick, the local newspaper man, is one of the few people in town with a classical education, so he's prone to overly academic language in the frontier boom town. In one notable scene, he writes an announcement that the smallpox vaccine as "gratis." Swearengen insists on clearer language: "Free gratis." When Merrick points out that this is a redundancy, Swearengen snarls, "Then take out the gratis!"

Vaarsuvius from The Order of the Stick, especially early on.
In the prequel book On the Origin of PCs, Roy has a go at it himself to convince Vaarsuvius that he's not just a big, dumb fighter who wants to suborn the smart guy by hiring him.
For obvious reasons Vaarsuvius is an exception to the usual Talking Is a Free Action rule. But even then, no matter how long-winded their spiels get, it's still only a standard action at worst, comparable to casting a spell. Observe.

Tombstone Rashomon: Doc Holliday and Johnny Behan are better educated than most of the others invoved in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (or, as Doc would insist, 'on Fremont Street') and like to cultivate the impression of being gentlemen by using large words and speaking in a grandiloquent style. Cononel Hafford is also educated, but his vocal affection runs more to poetic turns of phrase rather than unnecessary verbiage.

Massey Reinstein in Schlock Mercenary uses this trope to intimidate Schlock in one strip. It works.

Played for laughs in I Must Be Going, an installment of Skyhold Academy Yearbook, in which Varric reads a Real-Person Fic he's penned. He uses smaragdine to describe one character's green eyes, and the students listening to the story object to the inclusion of such a ridiculous word. As one of them says, "I don't think that's a real word. Or if it is, it shouldn't be." (It is. It's used to describe something as being emerald green.)

Parodied to the extreme with Lucky's three-page monologue in Waiting for Godot.

Twilight's List: Twilight Sparkle engages in this, causing Rainbow Dash to tune her out, and as a result miss out on the fact that Twilight is asking her out on a practice date, leading to Rainbow Dash believing that Twilight IS romantically interested in her.

In Bob and George, there's an entire alternate universe consisting out of people who only talk like this. Sure, they can dumb themselves down to communicate with the lessers, but when at one point there's a present, a future and a far future version of two characters there's only Sesquipedalian dialogue.

Captain Hook from Peter Pan & the Pirates speaks so eloquently that many adults watching it would have a hard time understanding what he's referring to half the time. Fortunately he manages to make his meaning clear as most of the time he speaks when angry and insulting his crew. Despite being a pirate it doesn't come across as out of place thanks to the Victorian era gentleman style he has.

Shlubb and Klump (a.k.a. Fat Man and Little Boy) from Sin City indulge in this type of dialogue in an attempt to look intelligent. However, they tend to mix a fair amount of malapropism in with it as well. The result is called Delusions of Eloquence.

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Bastian is often known for this, and contrasted with Geoffery who often verbally plays The Stoic. Miriel from Fire Emblem: Awakening seems to fall into this category as well, often bringing up the amelioration and propitious growth of her stats; her son, Laurent, naturally follows suit.

Cerebus the Aardvark features a character known only as "The Judge", who may just be the walking incarnation of this trope. A seemingly omnipotent being, the judge never actually does anything with his limitless powers and knowledge because he is too busy making long, long, long expository speeches using very big words. How long? In his first appearance, he speaks uninterrupted for five. straight. issues.
Though to be fair, he is telling the history of the creation and eventual destruction of the world. These things take time.
In a later issue, The Judge appears out of thin air to inform Death that he is about to die. And also that he is actually not Death at all, just delusional. It takes him more words to tell him this than the entire word count of the previous two issues combined. Leading to a Crowning Moment of Funny when "Death's" only response to this verbal tsunami is to say "Well, fuck me," and die.
Parmoorians have a well-deserved reputation for long-windedness. "Cerebus usually passes the time counting adverbs."

In the Pinky and the Brain episode "TV or not TV" Brain has a brief career as a stand-up comedian involving him insulting the audience by phrasing his insults using Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. The Brain does this constantly, even going so far as to rephrase common expressions with more advanced vocabulary ("The game does not conclude until the woman with the eating disorder ululates.")

In the Young Wizards series, the wizardry manuals are given to insanely complicated language; it's mind-boggling how an eleven-year-old girl can even hope to understand it. "Temporospatial claudication" indeed! Not unjustified, as these are English translations from a language which was designed from the ground up to describe the (actual, speculative, and alternative) workings of The Multiverse... or more accurately, reality reflects the language. In the first book, the girl spends around a week of study trying to understand the Speech well enough to even cast a simple spell. I'd imagine a year or two spent seriously studying what's basically a truly comprehensive and utterly accurate multidisciplinary textbook whose contents constantly reorganize to be exactly what its owner is currently most suited to learn... could produce mind-boggling results, indeed.

Many songs by At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta veer into this territory - in particular, the groups' frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala tends to use a larger-than-average amount of medical and scientific terms, which is not helped by the occasional bizarre portmanteaus.

Star Trek:
Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation occasionally did this, particularly when attempting humor or referring to an idiomatic expression. For Example: "I could be pursuing an untamed ornithoid without cause." (wild goose chase). It gets lampshaded in Star Trek: First Contact:
Star Trek: Voyager: Seven of Nine often addresses Naomi Wildman as "Naomi Wildman, subunit of Ensign Samantha Wildman" instead of "daughter of..."
Lampshaded on Star Trek: Discovery when Science Officer Connolly of the Enterprise offers a complicated explanation for a phenomenon, Burnham offers a simpler analogy, and Pike expresses his preference for the latter.

Lackadaisy:
Rocky, the majority of the time. Being a two-bit musician with pretentions of being a gangster.
This becomes even more noticeable when he's around Freckle, who rarely says more than a couple of words at a time.
Mordecai Heller does this as well. It's most pronounced in a side comic featuring his younger self critiquing his little sister's stick figure drawing. Naturally, since she's at best five years old, she has no idea what he's talking about and thinks the big words are funny. As an adult his vocabulary often evokes blank stares.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Meta-fictional example: books are only written in this type of prose. Actually one of the characters thinks it's less difficult to say "hum" when an unusual word shows up rather than looking it up, with surprisingly good results. Made even weirder by the fact Georgina always speaks in a normal manner.

In Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Monster of the Week Boxing Bop-a-roo had such a bad case of this that Lothor indirectly accused him of making up Perfectly Cromulent Words by starting a "Made-Up Word Jar". On top of that, many other characters suffered from the fact that he Got Me Doing It.

Doctor Emmett Brown from Back to the Future does this occasionally, though it seems to be limited to his past self from the '50s, implying Doc mellowed out at some point over the intervening 30 years. The Animated Series on the other hand, took this trait into overdrive (see "Western Animation" below).

Novelist Thomas Mann was, depending on your point of view, famed or notorious for his long and complex sentences. It was joked that for him and his admirers a German sentence less than a half-page long was no proper sentence. For instance, the first sentence of Mann's Confessions of Felix Krull consists of 72 words in the original German. However, when Mann gave a public reading it was very easy to keep track of what he was trying to get across. Leo Tolstoy was a big influence on Mann's work, and that is probably at least a partial explanation, since this trope shows up often in Tolstoy's works, too.

In Major Bummer, one of the people affected by EEMs develops an extremely advanced brain (so advanced that his head balloons to gigantic size to hold it), but this has the side effect of making his already vast command of the English language utterly incomprehensible to all but the most astute of listeners, and even then only those armed with a dictionary.

Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View has various characters speaking this way, but most notably Kabe, whose only line in the film is a squeaked order for drinks. If you can understand her, it turns out that she is incredibly verbose and grandiloquent, fittingly for a charismatic little thief and con artist.

Cow and Chicken:
In one episode the duo are visited by their black sheep cousin, the Black Sheep, whom everybody treats like a troublemaker. They do so partly because they assume he's a bad person out of stereotypical expectation, and partly because they don't understand his intelligent diction and think he's insulting them. Cow is the only person who's able to see past the ridiculous assumptions.
This also happens to Cow herself in an episode where she gets glasses and somehow becomes a genius.

Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak in Oblivion is a victim of this as well, although he never gets it right:
The author of the in-game book Liminal Bridges uses exceptionally long, obscure words. To quote the opening sentence:

It's a good idea to keep a dictionary open in another tab while reading A Different Lesson.

Anastasia Burns from The Simpsons: Team L.A.S.H. often uses long and flowery words that no second-grader would ever use, let alone in casual conversation. It's a part of her antiquated way of speaking. Mrs. Gunderson lampshades Anastasia's verbosity in "The Heiress Diaries"; when discussing her good grades in English class, she says Anastasia's vocabulary is "too advanced" for her age. Anastasia proceeds to call Mrs. Gunderson an "ignoramus", thereby proving Mrs. Gunderson's point.

Due to her immensely dry dialogue, Shelke from Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus has been classified as this by fanon.
Final Fantasy XIV: Urianger does it for even the most basic conversations. While he is indeed very intelligent and a useful source of exposition for the player, he seems to go out of his way to make every explanation he gives as long winded as possible due to his own flair for the dramatic. Several characters often remark that he is want to use ten words where one would suffice.

Kruppe from the Malazan Book of the Fallen loves to talk in long-winded, complicated sentences stuffed full of words his immediate audience is likely to trip over.

Parodied in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), which includes the line "We have traced the roots of Shakespeare's symbolism in the context of a pre-Nietzschean society through the totality of a jejune circular relationship of form, contrasted with a complete otherness of metaphysical cosmologies, and the ethical mores entrenched in the collective subconscious of an agrarian race". The published version of the script contains a footnote: "Don't bother reading that sentence over again. It's covering a costume change and is completely meaningless".

Judge Joe Brown often uses this trope, apparently in an attempt to try to add some class to his "folksy" image (and possibly to intimidate the clueless people who come on his show), but instead, he usually ends up coming across as pompous.

Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series is only the worst offender, but all characters are guilty, owing to the series' knack for Shakespearean speech and monologues. To the point that it's jarring and hilarious when Kain is finally so rattled by something that all he can manage is, "What in the hell?"

In Bookworm, the whole point of the game is to get the player into this way of speaking so as to score higher. Lex the bookworm in Bookworm Adventures often speaks like this; this is, in fact, the whole point of the game, as the longer words you spell, the more damage you inflict on your enemies. There's also the game's finale, where Lex actually uses a slightly shorter version of one of the words mentioned in the trope description to deliver the final blow. See here (major spoiler warning!).

SlipKnot may not be the most sophisticated band in terms of music and subject matter, but that doesn't prevent Corey Taylor from inserting esoteric euphemisms and terminology into otherwise profane and virulently anguished lyrical output. It also provides a stark contrast to their designated contemporaries KoRn, whose lead vocalist Johnathan Davis seldom uses words containing more than two syllables.

Fawlty Towers:

In "Communication Problems", Polly gets rid of the pushy, selectively deaf Mrs. Richards by asking Manuel to "lend her your assistance in connection with her reservation", knowing that Manuel won't understand.

In Superman & Batman: Generations, Lex Luthor says he managed to travel through time with a portal "generated when acetylsalicylic acid is irradiated at a 108 megahertz frequency"... in other words, he "irradiated" some aspirin tablets with an FM radio.

In the episode "Ink and Incapability" of Blackadder the Third, Dr. Samuel Johnson, author of the first English dictionary, speaks just like that ("I celebrated last night the encyclopedic implementation of my pre-meditated orchestration of demotic Anglo-Saxon."). Blackadder resorted to using made-up long words to freak Johnson out in retaliation ("Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.").

Doctor Who:
The Sixth Doctor took this to ridiculous lengths — and in Pip and Jane Baker scripts, most other characters would start talking like this as well.
Pip and Jane Baker were really fond of the phrase "fortuitous would be a more apposite epithet". The Master uses it in "The Mark of the Rani" as well. Of course, the Master as played by Anthony Ainley was always prone to thesaurus abuse.
The Sixth Doctor's talent for sounding like he swallowed a thesaurus and a full meal of cured pork haunch shows up a lot in the Big Finish audio dramas.
Raised to an art form with the audio drama ...ish.
Couple the Sixth Doctor's vocabulary with Gilbert and Sullivan's music and the results are downright hilarious, as evidenced in Part 3 of the Big Finish audio drama Doctor Who and the Pirates. Can anyone say "I am the Very Model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer"?
Early Eighties companion Adric does this a couple of times in "Four to Doomsday". Early in the story, he refers to the Milky Way galaxy as "Galaxia Kyklos"; Tegan thinks he's talking about somewhere in Corfu until the Doctor tells her that "Adric's just showing off". Later, while sharing a meal with the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa, Adric asks if anyone will "pass the sodium chloride", by which he means salt.
The Twelfth Doctor slipped into this in the Series 10 episode Smile:

Speech like this is the key joke in many Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches.
John Cleese is known to use this in other roles he has held since.
In the "Cheese Shop" sketch, the customer is an insufferable intellectual who initially uses the most impenetrable string of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness to order some cheese that the shop keeper has no idea what he's saying. The customer then translates his statements into an insultingly broad Yorkshire dialect to make himself understood. This is probably why the shopkeeper spends the rest of the sketch deliberately wasting his time.

Daredevil: One of the Kingpin's lieutenants speaks like this in Born Again. Like the Sin City example above, this was also written by Frank Miller. It predates it by a number of years, but still.

In Stark's War, the worst of the officers Stark deals with speak in a sort of hybrid of abstract military theory and management jargon, dressing some very dumb ideas in very complicated language. Just so long as it sounds impressive, that means they're all military geniuses, right?

The Arts of Dark and Light has Marcus, the son of protagonist Corvus and himself the main character in one of the subsidiary tales. Marcus is schooled as a theologian, and frequently makes use of this trope, as well as Spock Speak, having a tendency to launch into extraordinarily overelaborate and polysyllabic terminology whenever afforded the opportunity. To be fair, he is called out on this several times, and tries to talk more normally as a result.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet: When Ledo wakes up on the eponymous fleet, his mecha needs to analyze the language of the natives. To do so, Ledo grabs the nearest girl, runs away with her on his shoulder, and, just to make her talk some more, touches her ass. What follows is a Expospeak Gag-based Narrative Profanity Filter translation by Chamber to be about "reproduction with one's mother, as well as sanctified excrement".

Brian Pillman used to engage in a bit of this. For example, on the October 30, 1995 WCW Monday Nitro, in the promo where Chris Benoit was drafted into the Horsemen, Pillman ranted about how Sting "regaled [his] obsequious lapdogs with [his] reprehensible act."note The night before, at WCW Halloween Havoc 95, Ric Flair had turned heel on Sting in a match against Pillman and Arn Anderson, thus creating a new version of the Horsemen.

The Nomai in Outer Wilds mostly spoke normally (according to your translator device) except when they use figures of speech, which get translated as this — "bitten off a larger portion than I can consume", "pulling my locomotive limb", "on the other appendage" — perhaps to suggest that the idioms they're using are foreign to the player character's species.

In The Matrix Reloaded, the Architect's dialogue is extremely convoluted and highbrow-sounding, as if the writers deliberately mined a thesaurus for the longest synonyms they could find for every concept he's describing. Justified in that this artificial intelligence is, unlike any other AI, utterly logic/reason-based and lacking in any kind of empathy or social skills (the polar opposite of the Oracle) and uses speech as a type of Intimidation Demonstration. He does seem amused when Neo calls him on using it to avoid a direct question, saying his predecessors took longer to figure it out. Parodied so brilliantly by Will Ferrell in this video from the MTV Movie Awards.

Spoofed in the episode "Woodland Critter Christmas", where Mousey the Mouse is a parody of the stock "Smart" character in cartoons, complete with comically large glasses and a slavish adherence to this trope.

Mr. Longface Caterpillar from the 2009 Strawberry Shortcake movie peppers his speech with overly fancy words, which are translated by Blueberry Muffin. This is inverted at one point when he mentions fool's gold, and Blueberry "translates" this to its official name, iron pyrite. He continues this on the Berry Bitty Adventures show.

Christopher Paolini apparently feels the need to use a thesaurus at all times with the Inheritance Cycle, sparking copious mixed opinions from readers. Some find his writing captivating and interesting, while others basically write it off as a load of crap. Either way, you can't argue that he follows this trope to the letter, and younger readers may want to keep a dictionary open while traversing his prose.

Then there's Mordant's Need, a more "realistic" work than the Covenant series in almost every way... except the swearing. (When the local equivalent of a wizard snaps "Excrement of a pig!" he might just be pretentious, but when a couple of rough private soldiers express their frustration by yelling "Fornication!" it's deeply jarring.)

The Legend of Spyro: Volteer talks like this, often to the annoyance of the other Dragon Guardians and Sparx, though Spyro somehow has no problem understanding him. Example:
Another one from Volteer:
Bentley from the original series did this. Or at least, the one from Spyro 3 did.
Why, you brazenly avaricious duplicitous, larcenous ursine!
I will endeavor to assist you by means of a steady provision of combustible projectiles.

Ace Attorney:
Luke Atmey from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Trials and Tribulations combines this with a flair for descriptions that are over-dramatic to the point of obtuseness. Phoenix can usually only manage a rough translation, usually for the benefit of Maya, who is more often totally lost.
Also Redd White's fantabulous vocabulosity!
And Valant Gramarye, who combines this with alliteration. Apollo even notes that "his overly loquacious manner can get annoying".
Wesley Stickler and his penchant for using twenty words to say what that can be said in five deserves a mention too.

SOSchip:
LonelyFox, who is German but is fluent in English (to a self-deprecating extent), types and talks like this — though of course, she talks like this to the extent that a German learning English can talk like this. When asked who she is in the very first chapter by oghond (who has never seen her face or heard her voice before), she responds thusly:
This is what eventually tips oghond off to LF's identity, as only LF talks using words like that. In Chapter 2 this tendency of hers is lampshaded by Dr. Vandertramp:

The Caged Demonwolf from Empowered, with lots of Added Alliterative Appeal. ("Like unto 80s action-cinema icon Michael Dudikoff, be you a fabled Ninja American, oh jingoistic jackanapes?"). He's doing it on purpose. His Imagine Spots are readily identified because it carries over to everyone's dialogue (even mid-ravishing).

Judge Holden from Blood Meridian speaks in very precise English filled with archaic legal terms and sometimes excessively formal language (always referring to others as "principals," for instance). Sometimes he just knows exactly the words to say what he means, but just as often he's speaking to intimidate and confuse the mostly-illiterate louts in his gang.

Family Guy:
This trope was subverted in a gag where Peter was watching one of Dennis Miller's famous rants.
Stewie does this in the early series; it was even lampshaded by Brian in "Back to the Pilot", where Brian asks Present Stewie if he used a dictionary when he was Past Stewie.
Peter develops this trait after he embarks on a journey of self-improvement and returns home as a scholar. His family has no idea what he's talking about.

Walter "Ramses" Emerson in Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series tends to embody this trope through his younger years, though he (mostly) grows out of it by around age 20, as stated by Amelia in Guardian of the Horizon. Amelia herself could actually fit this trope in many regards, although it may be more her old-fashioned manner of narration than excessive verbosity.

In Tarzan of the Apes, Professor Porter considers that using the term "lion" rather than "quadruped of the genus FELIS" to be slang. Eventually his secretary Mr. Philander complains about his overly fussy attitude, and the professor replies "Look here, Skinny Philander, if you are lookin' for a scrap, peel off your coat and come on down on the ground, and I'll punch your head just as I did sixty years ago in the alley back of Porky Evans' barn." Philander is relieved that his old friend is still there under all the pomp.

Contraptionology!: Characters suffering from convolvement tend to become excessively verbose when discussing their projects and scientific genius.

People with a Romance language (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese...) as a first language can sometimes unintentionally sound like this when speaking English. Modern English results from a combination of Germanic and Romancenote mostly from medieval French roots. While words from Germanic roots are shorter and more common, Romance words are longer and more formal, but, since they're closer from their own language, Romance-language speakers sometimes instinctively choose them. Conversely, they often miss the point when confronted with a loquacious fictional character, wondering why, say, Reed Richards reads like their butcher.

The infamous The Eye of Argon uses absurdly obscure words whenever possible, sometimes whimsicorically making them up outright. It also uses even normal words incorrectly (grammatically AND semantically), when it manages to even spell them right. "Many-fauceted scarlet emerald" is a particularly... colorful... example. The extremely-thinly-veiled discussion of the hero's current hit points also comes to mind.

How I Met Your Mother:
The group have a conversation about Robin's new Argentinean boyfriend who can't speak English that well. When he arrives at the bar, they continue the conversation, but with longer words so he doesn't understand (he doesn't: he thinks they're talking about baseball). Funny, because their responses weren't all that different from before:
The part of the conversation right before this, that is Robin explaining that she still likes Gael, includes the lines:
Ted talks like this all the time, especially during the college flashbacks, because he is — in the other characters' own words — douchy like that. And his on-again/off-again high school/college girlfriend, Karen, talks like this all the time too.
Also in "Old King Clancy" while talking about GNB's firing room, the ETR, or Employee Transition Room:

The Bob & Ray character Dr. Eugene Stapley, the 'Word Wizard', is a broad parody of this trope... at times possibly just a bit broader than intended. After Bob suggests 'plunging straight into the mail': "Male and female serve only to differentialize one type of living creature from another. Now, undoubtedly some male members of the animal kingdom would be softer, say, to plunge into than others; but in any coincidence, the act of literally plunging into the male would in all probabilitiness be injureful!"

Genshiken uses this for its Idiosyncratic Episode Naming. This is done as if the episodes were a college thesis paper; it's done for the whole first season — hinted to be done by the President (who might or might not have cameras hidden everywhere) — while more normal episode naming is done during season two.

Kingdom Hearts:
Luxord from makes his entrance declaring the Heartless boss he summons a "veritable maelstrom of avarice".
In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, he combines this trope with alliteration and a hefty amount of gambling-related puns.
Every character whose consciousness derives (either fully or partially) from a Xehanort will inevitably resort to this, usually for the purpose of monologuing. Master Xehanort gets to deliver a particularly-sesquipedalian two-word insult - "Feckless neophyte" - though the rest of the Xehanort incarnations each have their own chance to try their hands at it.

And then you have John Morrison, who when not being scripted by someone else always talks like this, seemingly rambling on and segueing from topic to topic without any real connection to the original topic whatsoever. Which is made to be even more ridiculous when compared to his (former) tag team partner, "The Miz", who speaks in a very basic fashion (who used the Marine rallying cry "OOO-RAH!" as a period)note Which makes no sense since he was never actually in the Marines. Morrison is a blatant Captain Ersatz of Jim Morrison who tended to talk like this in interviews.

Succession: A running gag in the third season has Greg's academic uncle frequently using arcane adjectives such as "histrionic" and "intransigent." The dim-witted Greg just stares blankly at him and pretends to understand.

Hill Street Blues: At roll call, Sgt. Esterhaus sounds more like an academic orator than a police sergeant, never letting one simple word suffice when he can demonstrate the extent of his vocabulary by using four obscure, polysyllabic ones, preferably of Latin or French origin, instead.

Boyd Crowder in Justified is very fond of this trope, often using it to prove to others that just because he's from a backwoods Kentucky town, he's not stupid.

Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter is fond of doing this with Expospeak Gag:
Making a to-do list that included the chore "Aquatic Nutrifacation" instead of "Feed Fish".
Referring to the wheels on a car as "High Output Torquifiers". Unique in that this is how a young boy would actually do something like this. "Torquifiers" is a Neologism, a suffix hastily slapped on thesaurus-poop.

Wikipedia can be said as being infamous for this, which is ironic given how the site actually discourages using highfalutin words in an excessive manner.
This Wikipedia article is about men having erections in their sleep. Sort of justified in that the author would take great pains not to sound vulgar.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the effects of tetrodotoxin, the poison found in pufferfish:
This is pretty typical for articles dealing with the symptoms of various toxins. At least they're (usually) courteous enough to pothole the more arcane words so you can just click them and say to yourself "oh, is that all that means?"
Has anyone googled the Wikipedia explanation for "Yo Mom" jokes before?
Look up Ebonics, African-American Vernacular English, on Wikipedia. Reading it without grinning is tougher than it sounds.

Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation occasionally did this, particularly when attempting humor or referring to an idiomatic expression. For Example: "I could be pursuing an untamed ornithoid without cause." (wild goose chase). It gets lampshaded in Star Trek: First Contact:
