Ok, for my English class we are supposed to write down any words we come across that we do not know the definition. My problem is I have an extensive vocabulary already and none of the books I read have new words in them for me to learn. (I read a lot of SciFi). Anywho what I am asking is for some of you to give me some strange words so I can look up the definitions (unless you wanna do that too
).
The difference between me and every other asshole is that I know I am one.

I've only ever heard one person use either word in conversation, and it was the same guy.

Is it wrong that I knew what that meant before looking up the words I did not know?

Abstruse is one I just came across that I like.
Obviate
Obfuscate
Liminal is a great one.
Truism I like too.
Acerbic is nice as well.
Efficacious is underused.
I love words!
