I've seen that used recently.

Just to annoy all the people on here who get wound up by such things.
Boondoggle.
I'm enjoying "commensurate" at the moment.
Rambunctious is pretty good. Don't hear that often.
Rotund.

I can't possibly even begin to imagine where you might have got that word from.
[s]Idiot.[/s]
pugnacious
Discombobulate. Brilliant word.
phalanx.
Thrutching
Discombobulate +1
Commensurate +1
And I will add:
Crepuscular
Copacetic
Tautology
Savage
Capital (as in, "that is a capital idea chap")
I have a fondness for "contemporaneous"
Yes.
Thrutch was the caving club magazine.
Buffoon!
Masticate is very underused
Galoot, I know a few galoots.
Flange.
Apoptosis.

Think? I [i]know[/i] it's cruder than most who use it realise. 😉
Clot is seldom used these days, but I rather like its very concise nature.
bucolic
melancholy
Apposite
Not sure where that came from.
A lexicon?
Fulcrum
Assonance
Limen
Cruft.
A colleague used it in a meeting with some consultants. I had to stifle a chortle.
Please
Thank you
Excuse me
Seemingly the most underused words in the English language now 👿

Pigface got to flibbertigibbet before me, so I'm having loquacious. And its good friend salacious.
Please

I'd add "sorry" to that list too.

Pericombobulations.
"Actually you were right."

No
Not enough people use this word at work. Gets them into all sorts of problems.
At home is a different matter completely 😛

phalanx.
That's a great word.
Have, as in "I could have...."
Agreed. Also, as in "Could I have..."?
"Splendid".
Please.
An awful lot of people appear to have forgotten how to use this word.
Silence
Disputatious
Integrity
Flange. that used all the time here, engineering fabrication.
Bombastic
Oaf
Vexed is back out of fashion, shame that, I liked when people were vexed.
Apogee
Nadir
Another vote for clot.
Also: tenebrous.
I was at a loss at what to suggest but then I reread the original post and would like to propose "orotund".
I'm a science teacher so spend my life using odd words two of my favourites are:
Peristalsis - the muscular movement in our esophagus that allows us to swallow food
Meniscus - curve of the upper surface of water/liquid
awesome words!
The opposite of apogee is perigee. The opposite of nadir is zenith. Just in case there are GCSE astronomy students reading this....
Fettle, very underused down here in the colonies.
Cockwomble have a brief high point but could be used a lot more.

"Nomenclature". Always a good day if I can work that into a conversation.
Miasma
Used to describe a particularly pride-inducing chuff I dropped into my son's room this morning. I'm hoping some of it rubs off on him (the vocab, not the trump)
Ah they used to think typhoid was transmitted in the miasma.
Spiffing
Vaingloriousness
(extra points if you name the poem!!)
+1 for phalanx - i was thinking that but ya beat me..
vulva
Curmudgeon is a good one
Elucidate is a current one also, try to use that where i can
Such wanton verbosity pray continue. May I proffer 'poppycock', 'blaggard' and 'piffle'
