Makes me wonder just how many people out there don`t understand me when I use some of these in regular conversation.
I just like inevitable, okay? I thought no one knew tortuous...

we use those words in Italian too (except the flocc thing) so to me they are easier than other English words. they're almost the same: toruous-tortuoso, inevitable-inevitabile, perplexed-perplesso, sordid-sordido

Sorry for the really easy ones; I couldn't think of any really hard words. Even floccinaucinihilipilification is easy once you memorize it.

Okay, I realized something. You are all intelligent, but I come from a school where most people couldn't tell you what "reprimand" means, even if their life depended on it. I know; it's so unfortunate, all those minds wasted in teenage life... I can't wait to be rid of this country.

I like Melancholy, that is rather common. It means gloomy/sad.

Misanthrope means a distrust/hate/dislike for humans.

And I also like Juxtaposition, hard to describe but it sort of means comparing two things that are of a different standard, like a binary opposite,

Misanthrope and Juxtaposition aren't reall used much, only in school essays >.<

I have one I think is also quite uncommon (in normal English speaking...as J.K.R. used this as the language of goblins...you may heard it alreday^^) gobbledygook ~ don't know how to explain what it means^^' ~ maybe something like nonsense...

woahhh some new words there eiy, here's what you can to someone if they say something bad to you

how dare you insinuate that i would tolerate such a diabolical statement
from a dimutive scrap of society such as you,
if you persist in such an annoyance
i will summon all of my physical & mental powers
ang pulvurise you & your pugnacious tounge
in other words.......shut up!

That would thoroughly discombobulate someone.
