Florid and Ostentatious

florid- describing flowery or elaborate speech
ostentatious- describing a showy or pretentious display

Our fifth grade art teacher's name was Miss Flamboyant. She always gave us florid speeches about how life is a canvas and you are the pain brush. Her big words, meatphors, and similies were all part of her ostentatious show of deeper meanings.
