Wordplay

Ha la la la la/
Listen closely to the verse I lay/
Ha la la la la/
It's all about the wordplay/
Ha la la la la/
The wonderful thing it does/
Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's/
Yeah the Mister A to Z /
They say I'm all about the wordplay...
-Jason Mraz, Wordplay

My friend Katherine Smith and I spent a little bit of time on Saturday coming up with great words that don't get used very often but should be used in everyday conversation. Here's the start of our list:

• superfluous
• galoshes
  
• huzzah
• cathartic
• swell
• repertoire
• connoisseur
• anachronism
• apotheosis
• hullabaloo
• brouhaha
• hoi polloi
• jargon
• antithesis
• indubitably
