I just used the word wittol, in response to a crude and ignorant attempt to insult me by someone fat. Its a wonderful word and insult; also, it seemed to fit this individuals sexuality perfectly. What words do you like which are rarely used, i'm not talking about merely insults... I'm talking about words which can enrich all our vocabularies.

Especially not when you find out who I caught it from.

Ha! I probably caught it from the same person.

Sophistry

Posturing.

Pastiche


"That dress is nothing short of a pastiche."

"Boy, that waffle has everything on it: a true pastiche for the palette."





Edit - And then there's the billion and one words that I made up.

For example: peep.

It's when you poop and pee.

So, so many. I can't think of any off the top of my head but I'll start keeping a list.

Words I use every day:
ensue, (usually, but not limited to, when talking about a shit storm is about ensue),
concur (It's a habit),
pivotal (no idea why or how I started using it, but it's a habit now)
occurring (as in, ''what's occurring'' instead of ''what's happening'' just to be weirder),
obnoxious(ly) (my coffee is obnoxiously strong, this lesson is obnoxiously difficult)
doucher (see, douchbag, perpetrator of douchbaggery - reason is I hang out with a lot of Americans)

There are tons more, but these ones pop up all the time. Maybe I should keep a list of my vocab.

- scan: just a cool-sounding techno word.

- chatspider: this is the person in your neighborhood who hangs out waiting for someone to walk by, so they can grab them for a self-absorbed chat.

- megaspacer: this is the driver who likes to keep a football-field's worth of space between them and the car in front, at 30-40 mph, even hitting their brakes when that car waayyy up front hits theirs.

- eigenstate: still working on this one. Sounds impressive as long as one can pretend like they know what it means.

"Mmmm. My mother made magnificent muffins."
"Spare me your mytacism. It makes me mad."

Not sure if "mmm" fits the bill for incorrect use.

Not sure if "mmm" fits the bill for incorrect use. I can get "excessive", but not really "wrong".

When I speak Spanish I like to say "carnal", but I've come to realize that it's a generational word. It's rarely used by anyone under 30 anymore.

And I also have my little British vocabulary that only true friends hear out of me :

"What ho, old bag?

"What what?" a la Sir Pellinore

"It's a tid bit nippy outside."

"Pip pip!"

"Cheerio!"

and my favorite, "Toodle pip, what what!"
