Oddly enough bednobs, I have a word list that whenever I encounter a word that I do not know what it means I add it to my list. The latest one was "Pullulate - multiply or spread prolifically" - I have many others.
How about 'esurient'?

I worked a cryptic clue out last week, but then had to go and check the definition to see if I was correct. I'd never heard of it, but perhaps that's my fault?

15:14, no I've added it now. Pullulate is Pull-you-late.
Perhaps Blackadder can help......

Pusillanimous, I first heard it in Look Back in Anger where Richard Burton's character refers to his wife/girlfriend as Lady Pusillanimous so it's probably not a flattering word!
Nomophobia .... anxiety at lack of access to Smartphone or Mobile phone services.
Copacetic- OK,fine, in good order. Should be a good one to fit in

Redound - to contribute greatly to
Magnificent
Jack - snap :-)
I'm reminded here of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series, 'Chambers', where barristers challenged each other to introduce a particular word into their submissions to a judge. One struggled hard, but eventually succeeded, when presented with the word 'cunnilingus' ;-)

Try 'pentacular' or 'matutinal' with your colleague.
Contrafibulations.
Sorry TTT, didn't see your Dr Johnson post.
What about, verisimilitude?
With Halloween next month how about ... "Phantasmagorical"
