Is there a word for someone who would say exactly what they are thinking. Sort of if there is this boy named Bob, and whenever he has something on his mind he just says it out loud.

Is there a word or concept that describes words lacking simple (e.g. less pretentious, less technical, less subjugating) synonyms, or more generally words without single-word synonyms. I'm looking for lists of words that defy "plain-English" translation, in an effort to identify "essential" vocabulary. I'm thinking of the vocabulary equivalents of least-common denominators.

I'm having fun with paradoxes, and I'm trying to come up with a catchy word for non-self-descriptive.  Maybe "autosemantic" fits the bill for self-descriptive (definitely open to other suggestions!), but I'm having a hard time negating it in a natural way.  For an example of the sentence I'm trying to construct:     Is "inautosemantic" inautosemantic?   It just isn't flowing.

What is the word for someone trying to seem/be deep and intelligent, but really they are shallow, and not at all being insightful.  Pedant is about rules, so that is disqualified, the closest I could find is pseudointellectual, but that feels like cheating and clumsy as it is a simple compound word.

Is there a term for a person who by local standards is normal in his/her behaviour?  I mean a person who tends to like the same sports, same teams, same music, and same hobbies. Because in  people are like that, and I call them (in my mind) very generic, trivial, and boring.

What is a single word for a person who, as a habit, exaggerates a lot when relating information?   So for example, they relate something that happened but exaggerate so much that they are including clear falsehood and they are well known for doing that.

Is there a word in English to describe words that can be spelled more than one way?  For example:   colour and color favourite and favorite   However, this shouldn't be limited to words spelled differently in different dialects, though I'm not sure what other case there would be.

I really didn't know how to name this thread so I apologize about it. My question is: what is the linguistic term that refers globally to the words "vocabulary", "words", "phrases", "collocations", "expressions", "jargon", "idioms", "lexicon" etc?   I am doing an article on this and in the process of writing my paper when I put the word "vocabulary" I feel like I am referring only to single-words (e.g.: coincidence) opposite to when I write "phrase" which refers to more than one word without a verb/subject (e.g.: many thanks) or when I write "expression/idiom" it refers, generally speaking, to more words with a verb/subject (e.g: She is pulling my leg). The problem is I need to refer to these in one word, what is that word? I was thinking of "lexicon" but I am not sure. Is there something like "linguistic inventory"? I really need this word.  Thank you a lot. I hope that wasn´t so confusing.

I am looking for a single word that can be said in replacement of the activity, substance, etc. that an addict is addicted to. eg: In the case that someone is addicted to smoking cigarettes, what would the official title given to the cigarette be?      An addict (person) is addicted  to a _____ (object).

I have the distinct feeling there's a word often used when two people type the same thing at the same time in Internet chat contexts. Not necessarily exactly the same words, but closely related.  Maybe I've even come across it myself but forgotten it. All I can think of now is "Snap!", but that sounds a bit lame in this day and age (who plays cards nowadays, with all these video games?).

I'm looking for a single-word term that describes a personality that wants to give out too many unnecessary details in a conversation.  [EDIT] Let me give you guys an example. Suppose you ask your friend, at what time will he reach your place? Instead of saying it directly, he wanders off track by regurgitating unnecessary details like "I'd be catching the bus at 10, then I'll reach place X by this time, then I'll take another bus to your place, and maybe I'll arrive by 12". Is it circumlocution?

What is a word for someone who is experienced and wise, but who deliberately acts naïve?    I don’t intend it for sarcastic use; I’m trying to describe someone succeeding in making people think that that person truly is naïve.   Is there a word for this?

I consider myself to be this type of person. A search did not yield anything, but I did find this website. What is the word you use to describe someone who does not like excess, in the sense of quantity of material possesions and / or in purchasing something more expensive because it has a couple of extra features that are not really needed?

Does such a word exist? I don't mean to excess (IE, a glutton), but rather one who eats because he enjoys eating. Essentially, I'm looking for a word that's synonymous with "a food hedonist", or "a hedonistic eater." A word would be ideal, but a term would suffice as well :).   I love to eat!
