The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. - George Orwell

In one word: Smoking.

Well, not so much insincerity towards the person I think, but rather towards the topic at hand.

Still, I'm surprised at the pin-point accuracy of the most common technique I never realised, though I, and most people too, have been guilty of..
