I use it more for comedic effect. I dress in polo shirts and I use big words, so professors and peers always get this vibe of excessive formality from me. So then I throw in informalities, such as "ain't," (a non-word that's rarely used in my state) to create a humorously glaring contrast.

I know that you saw me.
We froze but for a moment
In empathy."-Rise Against
