<p>I know this is totally lame, but my dad's forcing me to study this book of 3000 SAT words (yeah, my parents suck, i've gotten over it). Anyway, some of these are pretty cool words, and in the spirit of caring and sharing, I've decided to share my favs with you ccers. Feel free to list your own.</p>

<p>They all start with a and b because those are the only ones i've gotten to </p>

<p>As to what they mean, I've got basically no idea :)</p>

adulation

<p>sesquipedalophobia is my favorite word.</p>

<p>it means 'fear of words with too many syllables'.</p>

<p>Yes it is...I defenestrate stupid people on a regular basis.</p>

<p>Okay, my list (some of which are difficult and some of which I simply like the sound of): coagulation, colloquialisms, serendipity, macropterous, lumimous, proclamation, acquisiton, inscrutable, equanimity, juxtapositon, delectable, coltish, archly, carnassial, reconnaissance, diaphanous, buckministerfullerine, cavalier, pilfering, juggernaut, anachronistic, genuflect, ephermeral, seraphic, scintillating, laconic, minutiae, epistolary, soldered, thermopylae, rascality, supercillious, ungulate, sublime, corrugated, symbiosis, legetimancy, justification, semblance, ensign, clavicle, and electroencephalogram.</p>

<p>Ooh, and those of you who like to indulge in the occasional bombasticism really need to check out The Grandiloquent Dictionary...</p>
