I always liked the word "interlocutor." I think I first heard it in the movie "The Wizard of Oz."
In colloquial use, an interlocutor is simply someone taking part in a conversation, but the term also has several other specialized uses:
In politics, it describes someone who informally explains the views of a government and also can relay messages back to a government. Unlike a spokesperson, an interlocutor often has no formal position within a government or any formal authority to speak on its behalf, and even when he does, everything an interlocutor says is his own personal opinion and not the official view of anyone. Because an interlocutor does not express an official view, communications between interlocutors are often useful at conveying information and ideas. Often interlocutors will talk with each other before formal negotiations. Interlocutors play an extremely important role in Sino-American relations.
In music, it was the term for the master of ceremonies in a minstrel show. A blackface character, like the other performers, the interlocutor nonetheless had a somewhat aristocratic demeanor, a "codfish aristocrat".
It is also the name given in Scots law to the formal order of the court.

quandary
elusive
ludicrous
words de'jour I enjoy sprinkling them around daily.
I do however love and often use- plethora- its my signature obscure word usage.... so much so, they know if a story is from me or not but the use of it in rather odd and funny ways that are not literally correct.
Example:
A plethora of imbeciles were in a quandary to which ludicrous act they should preform to achieve the ultimate of bad reviews for their theatrical production to achieve the coveted and yet elusive "Bad egg award."
Tah Dah! Excessive verbiage at nauseam! Love it.
Just wish I could spell better....that's a downer most times.

My favourite word at the moment is Procrastination.
Everyone at work is guilty of it.
Just in case you didn't know it means: to put off until later what you should do now.

Tanorexia - you know those people who are always in the tanning booth but believe they are still dead white.
Ignoranus - the guy who doesn't know he is an asshole.
Defenestrate - to kill yourself by jumping out of a window.
