Words we should all start using immediately

A while back I went on a date where this guy told me that I used big words and it was intimidating.  It struck me as funny, because the word I had used was "crotchety", which is not that big and not that unusual.  What followed was a goal to start using more of new and exciting words and it kind of turned into an obsession.  Like, I have a dictionary in MY CAR so that if I get bored, I can look new words up.  Side not, this is how you know you're a nerd.

Now, I'm not as creative as Taika at coming up with words on the spot, but what follows is a list of words that are some of my favorite finds.  I only wish more people knew them, because every time I try to use them, people give me a weird look and ask me what that means.
