Some of history's greatest thinkers were also great communicators. People like Richard Feynman had a real genius for explaining things in terms even an idiot (or at least a person of average intelligence and no knowledge of the subject matter) could understand. Try watching some of his lectures for ideas on how a super-smart person might communicate (and also just because they're educational and highly entertaining in their own right!)

It's probably best to portray a super smart character in terms of their actions rather than how they talk. Show them being the one coming up with creative solutions to problems that have the other characters stumped rather than having them use big words that nobody else would. People who use big words excessively can come across as pretentious rather than smart.
