Because of the parable, a lot of people think prodigal simply means to go away and come back, but that's not the whole story.

You can't come to a job interview and talk with polysyllabic words; they will think you're stupid (or in some cases - an idutard - a hybrid idiot/retard).

You went German? OHHHHHH KKKKAAAAYYYYY!

Although the connotations of schadenfreude are almost universally negative, it does form the basis of much of our humor.

Lady Boleyn had such an ostentatious personality that it attracted Henry, King of England, but made her sister Mary jealous and attempting to court him.

(Sorry, I just recently watched The Other Boleyn Girl last week.)

My pastor is 78 years old.  He's been preaching so long, in so many places, at such volume that his voice is downright trachyphonius, and his skin is trachycarpous from his secular job as a carpenter.  You should see his hands - the right hand is normal for a 78 year old man, but the left hand has not one fingernail that doesn't look rotten.  Guess which hand he holds the nails with when he hammers them in.  C'mon, guess!

He played the part of an amphytrion in the melee, hoping both his opponents would wear each other out enough for him to take them both down.

It's rodomontade, not rhodomontade.

Well all I know is my browser's automatic underlining of misspelled words put red under "rhodomontade" and not under "rodomontade."  Guess it didn't get archaic enough.

They are not useless!  Using a word someone doesn't know is a great way to find out a lot about that person.  Another good way is to say "Good morning!" in mid-afternoon or night.  Anything unexpected will throw a person off his stride and reveal a lot about his character.

Your turn still...
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."
