This is a really long shot, but I'm looking for a quote that's something along the lines of "clever people don't need to use flowery language to make themselves sound clever, their ideas do it for them." and goes on to talk about academics discussing their topics using quite simple language when they're together?

Is that when you have a runny bottom?
