I like 'coalesce' an awful lot; though it's not an easy one to incorporate.
I have a fondness for most any word that adequately describes what it means, seemingly just by the way that it sounds. Like 'pus' and 'hurl'- it's probably just the connotations a native English-speaker has attached to such terms, but those are great words nevertheless. |

| Coalesce is a good 'un. I recently discovered "convalescence". There's something about that "Co-" opening to a word, especially when combined with a largely pointless "sc". |

I have a running game with my boss as to who can drop the most words out of a given list during a meeting...
If anyone notices you are trying to actively incorporate weird diction into your speech, you lose
the list varies from week to week, but this week it includes the following:
Expeditiously
Fortuitous
Plethora
ambiguity
aggregated
aqueous
litigious
I have a big contract claim settlement negotiation tomorrow afternoon and im planning on using every single one of these bad boys..... |

| Inimical is always a big favorite of mine. Coalesce and acquiesce are also great. |

| No, that honour surely belongs to "Dear me, I am afflicted by a dire case of the vapours!" *smelling salts* |
