Pericombobulations.
"Actually you were right."
Lardaceous 🙂
No
Not enough people use this word at work. Gets them into all sorts of problems.
At home is a different matter completely 😛
Azimuth

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.
veritable
labyrinthine
impertinent
gudgeon
haggard
Apt

Flange
Flighty
Desmodromic.
Circlejerk.
Another for clot.
Wazzock
Nadir
Apogee

Bandersnatch

Fork. 😉
Who ever heard anyone say " I'm eating my dinner using a knife and forks." ?
Probity
Would probably be quite useful in th classifieds!
frenulum.
just google image search for best description
Torpor
Crepuscular
unctuous
stinkpipe
"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'
Scantlings
And seeing as it's budget day I submit 'oleaginous'
Badinage: the reason I come here.
Someone used the word "douchebag" in the office today, and I thought to myself - must use that more.
May I profer 'fecund'
I abominate your sesquipedalian intemperance.
I had to look in the dictionary today to find out what "Lien" meant although it wasn't all that exciting!
How about
Prurient
Impecunious
Limerence
Pellucid
Profligate
Gobbledegook
Comestibles (preferably cheesey)
Comestibles (preferably cheesey)
Esurient.
unctuous
I used that (followed by the word created by omitting the last four letters and shuffling the [b]C[/b] to the front of the queue) not more than 10 days ago to describe a mutual acquaintance. When used together the two words are very complimentary if not a little jagged in delivery.
"Nomenclature".
That would've been my offering - lovely word.
