Amazing words in the english language

In the middle of my coursework boredom came across some of these amazing words. If you manage to use these in conversation, let me know:

Sesquipedalian- a word for a person who uses long words

Scurryfunge- a hasty tidying of your house between the time you see a neighbour and the time they knock.

Crytoscopophilia – The urge to look through peoples windows as you pass by their houses

Raillery- Good-humoured banter or teasing

Pulchritudinous – Very beautiful

Defenestrate -to throw out of a window.

Discombobulate-To upset or confuse, to disconcert

And to finish with a classic- Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - The fear of long words
