    innocuous just came to mind. altho it's probably better that i don't think to use it that often since i had to check the spelling.
    iridescent is also a nice word.

    All the words above have a nice ring to them but I don't tend to use them much.

    Haha! I just used innocuous, yesterday. :woot: *beams* There's lots of words I like and don't use all that often, but I am a word person so I do manage to jam them into conversation fairly regularly. :up:

    Perpendicular (It sort of sounds like what it means and I like the p sounds) ;)
    Nefarious
    Gobsmacked
    colloquialism
    curmudgeon <--- great word. Another that sounds like what it means.
    juxtaposition (hardly ever use that one)

    I could play this game all day. :yay:

    well words with Qs or Q sounds might get used less often in normal conversation.
