Cruciverbalist.
It can be said with such authority and yet it simply means 'a crossword fan'.
It sounds as though it could mean a couple of other things too like 'someone who murders the English language' or 'one of any number of players having a bad day at the World Snooker Championship'.
Personally, I like it's intended meaning - it's great in conversation when you come up with 'I'm a cruciverbalist'.

Real words: ambivalent; necromancy, cymric
favourite word this month (not really real) is Buggy-bug-bug. Depending on the intonation, it can mean just about anything, and my husband often slips his hand over my mouth when I am getting either a) excited b) cross c)playful in our local supermarket and start proclaiming it!
