August 5, 200520 yr Me and my High School friend used to sit around in class and have conversations about normal things but the game was every sentance needed a word people never/rarely hear. We started out using stuff like "hence" "ergo" and "quid-pro-quo" stuff that most people know. However as the year progressed we found/used bigger and rarer words. Here are my all time 3 favorite Plethora (pleth-a-rah) - A superabundance; an excess. "Oh my, notes on pages 312-340 due tomorrow? Thats a lot of homework... I say that may even be a plethora of work" Detritus (deh-tri-tus) - Loose rock (lol). "Hmm, it appears I must have walked on a gravel road, for I have much detritus stuck to my shoe" Steatopygia (s-tea-at-a-pit-i-ah) - An extreme accumulation of fat on the buttocks (aka, a plethora sized butt) :P. "Dude, check it out, that chick totally has Steatopygia" otherwise known as a plethora of fat. So yea, there fun to use. Anyone know any other spiffy words?
August 5, 200520 yr I've used plethora and detritus several times before, but I don't think I see myself ever saying "Steatopygia" =p
August 5, 200520 yr Fester - To undergo decay, rot. Best word ever :D ~Jim. Decompose? I think 'decompose' has the same meaning. Ape8191. New sig to come!
August 5, 200520 yr Lol! That's funny haha. I <3 random weird words people never use. I can imagine walking with a bunch of friends and suddenly saying stuff like u posted up there :shock: They'd be like whaaa?? :lol:
August 5, 200520 yr Riight, that was an interesting post, but a bit confusing. :P Ape8191. New sig to come!
August 5, 200520 yr I've used Detrius quite a lot in Science class :wink: What about....facetious? I think thats a pretty cool word, and I haven't really heard anyone use it (aside from tv). Intended to be humorous but often silly or inappropriate
August 5, 200520 yr Maybe not a rare word but 'satsuma' is clearly the greatest word in the English language. I am not open to debate on this subject. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.
August 5, 200520 yr Seem to struggle to get "Please" or "Thanks" said from anyone where i live. Us "teenagers" are so arrogant that nobody actually pays attention when we're polite.
August 5, 200520 yr Seem to struggle to get "Please" or "Thanks" said from anyone where i live. Us "teenagers" are so arrogant that nobody actually pays attention when we're polite. So true, there. I'm polite. :roll: I think... But what the hell. I don't care if people pay attention or not. -.- Ape8191. New sig to come!
August 5, 200520 yr Author Plethora is quite common. Well I hear it quite a lot. Fester is common too. I know, plethora is getting used more and more everyday :cry: err, actually I'm not sure if thats a sad thought or a happy one, its cool that its getting popular but I always considered it to be like 'my' word. Hmm, quite a conundrum :?
August 5, 200520 yr eudaemonia: well-being; happiness brummagem:counterfeit; spurious; tawdry sansculotte:a radical/violent extremist in politics A couple of words I know that I rarely ever hear someone say. Gamertag: King Arizona

August 5, 200520 yr Inevitable; Impossible to avoid or prevent. That one rolls off your toung... Ape8191. New sig to come!
August 5, 200520 yr sansculotte:a radical/violent extremist in politics That literally means without underwear/pants... :) ~witty
August 5, 200520 yr Inevitable; Impossible to avoid or prevent. That one rolls off your toung... Ape8191. :) I like saying that, i always try and fit it into a sentece when possible. I also like plausible- Seemingling valid Preatty much a diffrent way of saying possible, only it sounds cooler. Found another one! indubitably-Too apparent to be doubted; unquestionable.

August 5, 200520 yr I have a good one: lackadaisical: lacking spirit, liveliness, or interest; languid it just sounds so cool. I actually use every know and then. Some other good ones: Cumbersome Ramification lethargic <-- I use that one alot.
August 5, 200520 yr Wiggy. Not to be confused with jiggy which has come to replace wiggy even tho Will Smith has made jiggy really ***. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.
August 6, 200520 yr Ahh I had so many a few days ago, when I was in the 8th grade we had to do we had around 800 words (damn advanced classes) and none of them were easy to remeber. forgot most but heres a few lets see who can compete :) Funabulist-tightrope walker Equilibrist-also tightrope walker Terrafirma-firm land Apostasy-desertion of principle Hedonism-devotion to pleasure Mannumission-realease from slavery Colloquy- conversation Incoloparentis-in place of parents phyiognomly-facial charector costermonger-vegetable vendor saturnine-gloomy and remote gynocrasy-goverment of women psuedonym-false name aquiline-eaglelike mobocrasy-goverment controlled by a mafia nepotism-favoritism of relatives I have to say hedonism is my favorite. I had them all on papers but found them in my basement 3 days ago and tossed 'em. Ahh well you guys try remebering 800 words of that difficulty in less than a year, while doing algebra 2 (with a psycho [bleep] who broke both her legs and never missed a day), and do it hungover. ...wonder why I passed...
