I started talking like that when I was younger as, I believe, a direct result of reading 6-7 books a week. The language would just surface as I was in the middle of a sentence. That language was quickly derided by my peers and those "above" me.
I found that conversing in a more general manner ("fire" vs "conflagration") is conducive to moving conversations forward, even if it results in a muddled understanding.
I now make efforts to speak in a less exact fashion in most circumstances and I've lost a good bit of my vocabulary as a result.
On occasion I write (privately) in such language so that I retain the ability to speak in a more exacting fashion, but it's rare these days and I often feel like I'm not presenting my arguments as well as I could be.
