SAT words
College entrance lexicon
SAT words are vocabulary terms commonly tested on the SAT, the standardized college admissions exam.
The phrase suggests words that are somewhat elevated or literary—the kind students memorize from flashcards rather than pick up naturally: I didn't understand half the words in that article—they were all SAT words.
The label can be gently mocking, implying someone is being pretentious or overly formal.
