Law of ten cent words.
The amount of large words someone in a given wank uses to make their point is directly proportional to the likelihood that the point being made isn't valid anyway.

What's the phrase for big words being used by somebody that's trying to sound smart? "Ten cent words"? Maybe that can be used in the name somehow.

Alternately, the wrestling fan in me wants to propose calling it the Law of Destrucity in honor of the ramblings found on the Ultimate Warrior's website.

The number of SAT words is also directly proportional to the likelihood that at least one of the aforementioned words will be spelled and/or used incorrectly.

That could be Vizini's Corollary to the Law of Ten Cent Words.

Hahaha. I love this corollary's name. But it's spelled Vizzini.

You know I figured it was spelled wrong, but for some reason I just couldn't be buggered to look it up first. Hah, that's what I get.

In any criticism of another's grammar, one will spell at least one word incorrectly.

The way you phrase this reverses the meaning.

"The more big words, the more BS."?
