Pauciloquent - Someone who uses few words in speech.
Malarkey - Nonsense talk.

[Killies]

Mine will always be Reveries
Also starlit, cerulean, posology and netizen-
Especially netizen, haven’t heard anyone else beside me and my brother use it (´；ω；`)

 

[Afropuppy]

Stellar

It sounds really nice and it's really underused in modern day speech
(says a person whose primary language isn't English and her "research" just comes from youtubers lol...Well I never said that my opinion is facts to begin with -~-)

 

[Phoenix Lennon]

Lagom- just the right amount/balance
frugal- careful esp. in regards to things of a financial nature
swell- pleasant

 

[Crayons]

Parsimony and profligacy + adjectives derived thereof.

Also penury.

Basically great p words about filthy lucre (or the lack).

 

[GLXYCHLD]

kind of gruesome both in definition and sound but i like the word eviscerate.

 

[onyeenhok]

~exacerbate
~effervescent
~perish
~consequential
~valiant
~finalization

 

[Onmyoji]

Pique, in the meaning of arouse curiosity
Vermilion (color), not particularly uncommon if you need to talk about colors, but it would mostly be just 'red' in general use

I might remember some more later

 

[Parrot Parfait]

Eclectic and Melancholy. That's all I got for now.

 

[Kazami42]

Indubitably.
Moist. [Though it seems memers are getting on board.]
Smite.
Eviscerate.
Fiend.
Resonance.
Facetious.
Jentacular.
Serendipity.
Agastopia.
Xertz.
Henceforth.

My fav is the powerful smite, the amusing jentacular, the beautiful resonance, the psychotic evicerate, and the triggering moist. Which put that way, sounds like band names, troll joke stories, and medical travesties.

Ostentatious
Penny-pincher
Fallacy
Windfall
Intelligentsia
Spliced

[Naril]

I’ve always liked:

Coruscation (a sudden display of brilliant light)

Tenebrous (dark, shadowy, or obscure)

Occultation (an object hiding another by passing between the viewer and the object)

Katabasis (the act of descent; in literary use, a journey of descent into the underworld. The related, and also great, word “katabatic” referring to the wind caused by cold, descending air)

Anabasis (the act of ascent; in literary use the journey out of the underworld. There is an anabatic wind too, but I don’t like the word so much.)
