I finally get to use the word 'sesquipedalian' without being punched in the face.

In this blog entry, I shall attempt to bring to light some of the more chthonic depths of the English language. I am referring to words such as milquetoast, which serve very little practical purpose, but may get you a date with a librarian.

While some of these are fungible and serve only to increase your ostentatious grandiloquence, they will enhance your vocabulary with a certain salient quality.
Inevitably subject to solecism, they come fully endowed with hyperlinks which elucidate upon their context and general usage.

Using these words in common conversation will inevitably exalt you above the plebeian mire of mediocrity, whether they be used in an extended paroxysm or as a mere scintilla in a sentence.

Possible negative repercussions of using these words include, but are not limited to:
-The common public flouting you for your sesquipedalian excess.
-Experienced philomaths discovering that you only use these words to disguise the fact that you have very little to add to a discussion.
-A flaneur harassing you because he took offense to you calling him a flaneur. (Seriously, what's your problem?)
-A particularly shifty hobbledehoy mugging you, because anyone who uses the word 'hobbledehoy' truly deserves it.
-An attractive member of the opposite sex falls madly in love with you due to the misconception that you are a multifarious member of the intelligentsia.
When she discovers that you are but a lowly neophyte, she savagely assails you with a ballpoint pen.
-Your hubris enrages Zeus, as he unleashes a cataract of fire and thunder upon you.

Now that you have been warned of the intransigent punishments that may await you, be free!
Share your coruscant knowledge with the world, and may you be added to the glorious hagiography of eloquence!

Just try not to get hit.
