Impress your friends with these words!

[Kajitsu]

I'm posting some unusual words and phrases here, in case anyone needs to impress someone with their language skills I know only English, but other languages are welcome.

First we have my favorite:
Floccinaucinihilipilification - the act of deeming something worthless

Tortuous - do not confuse this with torturous! - full of twists and turns, basically complicated

Inevitable - I know some of you may know this, but I love this word and thought it deserved a place here - cannot be avoided

Aargh... I'm drawing a blank here. I'll remember more later. Sorry for not having a longer list.

inevitable is quiet common isn't it? or maybe it's just used a lot in Sweden's eng class.
I'll never be able to pronounce that Flocc.. wow XD

Other than "floccinaucinihilipilification"... None of them seem all that uncommon to me.

Makes me wonder just how many people out there don`t understand me when I use some of these in regular conversation.

I think that joining a word game would be a more effective way on how to get your post count up, Kajitsu.
