Pretty much like he's a shrimp when he's not a big oaf.

Big words are always better if they make the writer sound smart.
Unless they serve to garble the writer's meaning, cloud the intended
message and confuse or mislead the reader.
Big or little, they have meaning.
Obsequious is big only in syllables.
I prefer beggarly bugger.
