Edit: a solecism is a grammatical error, often produced by unnecessary redundancies and double negatives. Two examples of solecisms are "I ain't done nothing," in place of "I haven't done anything," and "the problem being that" in place of "the problem is." Some solecisms are acceptable for artistic use, but most are not approved of in prose.

What is a big word used to describe when people use big words incorrectly?

"Solecism" would cover it, though that can mean any mistake in language. "Hypercorrection" is another useful word. It describes when people are trying so hard to avoid one mistake that they make another. For example, saying "whom" even where "who" would be appropriate: "Support our teachers, whom have simply had enough!" Answer The word you are looking for is malapropism, it means if someone tries to sound intelligent, and they use big words in the wrong context. Another word for that would be dogberryism which means the same thing.
