There are words out there that sound so difficult, yet describe something so simple.
Like, defenestrate, for example.
- to throw through or out of the window;
Or, gormandize.
- to eat greedily or ravenously;
What's your favorite uncommon word? Provide the definition too!

That's one of my favorites, too! I used it in S4 the other day when I threw someone out the window in Temple-M with a plasma sword while trying to score.
Also,
arbitrary
subject to individual will or judgment without restriction; contingent solely upon one's discretion
I actually use this one relatively often, though.

Avarice. It's simply a synonym for greed. I like how it sounds, though.
