Lucky you. All I've got is a headful of really obscure shit that when used in conversation confuses people.

(I used "anathema" in a sentence at a party, I think it was to describe Budweiser, since I was into my third Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout. I eventually had to distill it down to "really, really bad thing."

I'm diggin this thread.

do go on

I once scared away a Friday Freshman by using the word "mercurial".
I also like "cogent" and "elucidate". :alien:

I'm fond of orthogonal and symmetric (I get to use those reasonably often in programming). I also like anecdotal and statistical anomaly. (stats related)

When all else fails, I try to use the word poop in a sentence. I just like the way it sounds.

Not the way it smells? :turd:

made my day.

For a while I was stuck on everything being incongruent. Also, many things are ubiquitous, or ostensibly something. My coversations frequently include things that subsequently happened (although I could probably just have said "then" something happened). I noticed recently that I've been using the word homogenous to describe a certain aspect of proper aesthetics that most people probably refer to as being "balanced" (although I'm not sure this covers the full spectrum of this application of homogenous).

When people ask me, what's up? I simply reply: A direction away from the focus of the local gravitational field.

My counsellor told me I use words she has never heard before. I thought and thought and thought about what they might be. I came up with obsequious and disingenuous. There may have been more.

People should read more.

What? She's never heard, "Fuk off you wench! You're not helping!"
