Ha!
I teach English Undergrads and can't remember all the technical bits like onomatopoeia, metonymy, and other long words that I avoid using so as to not look too stupid.
Fortunately my students are either more stupid than me or else they just haven't noticed yet that I'm not terribly good with all the technical jargon.
However, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, metaphors, similes and the like I'm fine with.
