What is the most interesting/unusual word you know?

It can be anything, it doesn't even have to be in english.
For me it would have to be Riposte, which is a quick or clever reply to an insult or criticism.

I always liked the word "pareidolia", just because it makes me =).

(get it? because pareidolias make it possible to see faces when there's only a few lines in a certain... okay, I'll go now...)

Effluent - I like the sound of it
Macgyver - I like it used as a verb
My favourite however has to be backpfeifengesicht. This German word is, literally, a face that cries for a fist in it. it means one who would benefit from a fist to the face.

We all know a backpfeifengesicht or two in our lives I think.

Paramecium. I think it's way fun to read and say. They're interesting to watch under the microscope, too.

Chuunibyou - Japanese for "Middle Schooler Syndrome".

It's hard to describe but the Japanese use it to describe posers, hipsters and people who are delusional and possibly think they have powers. I could loosely describe it as someone who never grew out of their make-believe phase past the acceptable age. It's kind of like how Jace has that delusion that he's a Marine, how Pixy has the delusion that she's the sexiest woman alive and not even Hal could resist her or how Chris thinks he has powers. I found the word interesting because I think it's one that desperately needs an English equivalent; something that lolcow doesn't quite describe.

"Phantasmagoria" is a favourite of mine. I also like the French version "fantasmagorie".
