I've always liked languages and big words just because they sound fun. Just for the heck of it, here are a few of them.
Absquatulate: It means to leave abruptly. (This word became an inside joke in my family. For reasons I don't remember, it makes all of us laugh.)
Apotheosis: It means the highest point in development of something. It just sounds like an appropriately good strong word. (I heard about it in a description of a musical piece from the Nutcracker Ballet.)
Befuddle: It means to make someone be unable to think clearly. I just like the way the word sounds.
Euphoria: It means a feeling of intense happiness. It just sounds like a happy word.
Quixotic: It means very idealistic/unrealistic. I like the word because it's named after Don Quixote which is all about a man who believed in the impossible.
