Is there something wrong nowdays about having a big vocab?! (16)

so lately i've become sort of jaded towards my generation. It seems that every time i talk to someone its like talking to a lobotomy patient. Everyone always gets this confused look on their faces whenever i pull even simple words like "doldrum" out of my hat in a conversation, like i did something wrong. I've never been under the impression that being able to converse with others in a manner that isn't comparable to caveman grunts is inherently wrong. I mean come on i once met a chick who didn't know the meaning of the word "fixate" come on! Also while i'm at it, i've also noticed that peoples ability to describe objects and situations seems to be severely lacking of any substance. Most of the time when someone is trying to describe something, i get really uneasy because they pepper the word "like" about a billion times throughout a single sentence. Example "yeah so i was like at the movies the other day and like i went to see that new movie with tom cruise in it. You know the one that's like a huge deal now. I swear there was like fifty of us in a single group going to see it."

Then again this might just be an isolated incident in the states, our education system needs a serious overhaul but i would really like to see if anyone else is having this problem as well
