If you’re not already following “Southern Charm” and “RelationShep” star Shep Rose on Twitter, I highly recommend you do.

Bravo’s lovable logophile — and Hilton Head Island native — is already known for using words that his fans have to Google just so they can understand whatever the heck he said (which, oopsy, I might have just now done to you ... a “logophile” is someone who loves words. Why didn’t I just say that instead? I don’t know. Who got the cat in Craig Conover and Naomie Olindo’s breakup? That’s a way more important question). On Twitter, Shep is no different. He regularly treats trolls to his goofy but quick wit and throws in some high-priced vocab every once and again.

And it’s fun to watch.

The fifth season of “Southern Charm” doesn’t premiere until April 5 (check out the preview here) so until then we’ll all have to make do with these amuse-bouches.
