Here is a running list of the best words in our freaky language. These are by no means in any order, so don’t send me hate mail for putting opprobrious halfway down the list. Feel free to suggest any others that are worthy.

Kerfuffle - fuss
Eleemosynary – charitable
Penuriousness - poor
Onomatopoeia - sound words
Jingoism - patriotism
Facetious – jocular
Rump - booty
Guffaw - laugh
Opprobrious – abusive
Nugatory – unimportant
Tatterdemalion - ragamuffin
Perspicacious – clever

This list is entirely superfluous.
More like supercilious
When Skos exercises he gets very perspicacious and soaks his entire shirt.
What…wrong definition?
there is a difference between the best words and obscure words. Obscure words are those that people rarely know the definition of, the best words have a musicality to them; a person does not overuse them, he/she simply finds the most perfect application for their presence. You absentmindedly named words that people will not know whether they are the best or not simply because they do not know the definition of them. get your act together and do not make a claim you can back up.
