Hey, hey, hey... that's the word that sprung into my head before I even opened this... glad you like it, too... here goes:
Mellifluous, erudite, diphthong, ogle, expatriate, unionize, expunge, foray, sporadic, ramification, loquacious, stagnant, quagmire, narcississtic, innocuous, heinous, lachrymose, vociferous, boisterous, machinations, quandary, cantankerous, recalcitrant, and sceptre, just to name a few. I'll be adding soon.

Catarrh - an accumulation of mucus. Such a vivid word.

Coagulate (blood clotting), neoteric, peripheral, ostentatious, poriferous, vivacious, mettle, and moribund.
How could we make a game out of this? Wait! I know... you see how three of my words have the underlined hyperlink thingy? Let's see who can get the most.

According to Oxford English Dictionary:
antidisestablishmentarianism - “Properly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, but popularly cited as an example of a long word.” Trivia Note: Did you know that JRR Tolkien was once on the writing staff of the OED? What does andidisestablishmentarianism mean? |
