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
