Some of these early entries are simply Buckleyesque!

Buckleyesque: Named for William F. Buckley, Jr. (1925-2008). 1) (adj.) of having an extrordinarily large vocabulary, frequently using sentences with words that are both obscure and exceedingly descriptive. 2) (pronoun var.) being outdone in an intellectual discussion through the use of large words. Ex: "Clarence was winning the argument until Winthrop 'Buckleyed' him with a barrage of predicate nomnatives and sent him reeling."
