Foo - Favorite words you casually say that may be on SAT/ACT..

Let's hear them.
When Pete F. was debating another member, he used the word erroneous. Having never heard the word before, I checked it out. I quickly thought it was a very nice word to know in my vocab. I took an SAT thing online, and that word was in one of the answers for sentence completion with a vocab word. I take the SAT and ACT here in a few months and would like to brush up on vocab. After watching some Sci-Fi shows (mainly Sliders and Jake 2.0) I checked out- animosity, cumbersome, uncanny..just to name a few, and wow does it sure stick in memory. So if you have any other of these "big" words you use, I would like to hear what they are. Thanks.

I've been known to use the words "sat" and "act" once in a while.

I don't use it very often but it pops into my head a lot: sycophant. Sort of like "brown-noser" but with Latin roots. :p

Haha, yes I remember that one from a weekly vocab thing we did last year. But good one:)

Inspissate. Sated. Esoteric.

While polysyllabic words are entertaining, I do indeed try my best to eschew obfuscation...
