Ten-Dollar words

One of the reasons why Brian Watkins is an excellent vocabulary ranger is that he introduced me to the term "Nefarious Prevaricators"

Sometimes ten dollar words are just so much fun to use. Some of my favorite words and phrases (and the people that use them):

Brian Watkins: Nefarious Prevaricators
Dad: Sesquipedalian Proclivities
        Blythe Insouciance
Uncle Lyman: Veritable Epicurean Delight

I love to use the word "exacerbate" even though it may sound a little BYP, though I think I have waited my whole life long just to use the word "perspicacity".
