overeducated and underemployed: shut up! satiated? i don't even know what that means!

"Not only did Saturday Night Live's first female head writer and sarcastic Weekend Update anchor, Tina Fey, write the screenplay for the movie Mean Girls, but the bespectacled brunette also plays a math teacher in the movie. Oh, and she drops words like satiated into casual conversation. Could any geek lover ask for more?...We found Fey to be as smart, funny and, contrary to the movie's title and her own confessions, nice. Commence crushing now..."

Have we been dumbed down enough that satiate passes as a really impressive word? I'm not knocking Tina Fey here, because I doubt she used it to woo all the "geek lovers", as it was so delicately put. In fact, I'm quite sure it's just the way she, a normal person, talks. Yes, this question is for the suckas at E! online. Seriously, what up?

Secondly, and I fucking love Tina Fey, but I'm just wondering...why is it suddenly so important to the media that she be hot and crushworthy? Frankly, I was satiated with her just being funny as hell.
