1/The use of the phrase 'writ large' to pepper meetings and affect intelligence even though the user of the phrase doesn't actually know what it means and therefore doesn't use it correctly.
2/Can also be used (writ large) to describe any type of word or phrase that someone uses specifically to appear more intelligent when the use of the word or phrase is in fact used incorrectly.

Once again Talib Kweli catches Kanye, the "proud non-reader of books", writ larging it up as he describes himself as a genius.
What the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts would have needed to actually chop off the heads of any of her subjects whom she happened to be displeased at.
Since the King of Hearts quietly told all of the condemned croquet-players, "you are all of you pardoned", it seems fairly doubtful that he would actually have scribed out a writ of execution in any instance, especially if it was merely because his wife the Queen wanted it so.
