there's 'antidisestablishmentarianism' at 28 letters, meaning 'opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England'. It is often considered the longest word as it has an actual meaning instead of being created just to be long.

It's not the most intellectual sounding word that I know, but I still like it:
ephemeron-something short-lived

Recidivism may not be the most intellectual sounding word I know, but its one that most people don't seem to know (at least around where I am). It means the tendancy to slip into old patterns of behavior, usually negative.

The easiest intellectual word to slip into conversation is "indubitably" which means the same as "undoubtedly," and it can be used in any situation where you would say "yeah."
Try it sometime!

"intellectual" sounds pretty intellectual to me, it means "of or pertaining to the intellect"

"I" is quite intellectual in my opinion, meaning me and/or mine..."I am" is so powerful and denotes power as in I am beautiful or I am happy...."I will" signifies action and commitment, as in I will sing or I will be there...
"I can" speaks to affirm as in I can help or I can dance...there is no limit to the things that I am... I will...and I...can do.
