Grandiloquent Dictionary

I stumbled across a website accidentally today, and I'm in love. The Grandiloquent Dictionary. It's just a bunch of big words that you never knew you needed. But as soon as I read them, I think "something was missing in my life until I read this word, and now I am a little more complete as a result of it."

Words like...

cingulomania - A desire to hold someone in your arms

colposinquanonia - (KAHL-puh-SIN-kwah-NOH-nee-uh) Estimating a woman's beauty based on her chest

latrinalia - Using words that are fit for a restroom wall

tarantism - An urge to overcome melancholy by dancing


Grandiloquent Dictionary

So go there, and then you can begin with your lexiphanicism (look it up).

I have always fancied myself a master of colposinquanonia.
