Not that fancy, but...
elaborate - to explain further.
ostentatious - a bit over the top or pretentious.
zealous - someone can be quite zelaous if they're very enthusiastic about something.

Using words like over zealous in order to appear to be elaborating is a bit ostentatious imo

If you are going to use words like this at least use the correctly. Somone is over zealous if they are excitable or over enthusiastic about a situation.

Rhythm is the longest word without any vowels.
And they've had words not rhyming on QI before, think Orange was the only one that didn't or something
