What are some words you bring out only for special occasions?

Bumblebee tuna! (Bumbawe Atuna)

jedenfalls- German for ‘in any case’. It’s my favorite word so I use it sparingly. Don’t wanna wear it out too soon.

If I’m in a mean Lisa Lampanelli mood, “douchecock.” Very special occasions for very special people and used very sparingly.

It is a disgusting word and it kinda grosses me out to think about it, but damn, it just fits sometimes.

lol.

Pandiculate. I was so happy when I learned there was a word to describe the thing I do when I get out of bed every morning.

And chthonic. I don’t know of any other words offhand that begin with a silent c (and a silent h).

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

“I love you.”

“Plaaaa!”

Inside joke, don’t ask…

Phantasmagoria

–noun

1. a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.
2. a changing scene made up of many elements.
3. an optical illusion produced by a magic lantern or the like in which figures increase or diminish in size, pass into each other, dissolve, etc.

I only bring this word out for Halloween.

@nxknxk, cthonic is one of my favorite words of all time!

I’m kind of pretentious, so no words are off-limits in everyday conversation.

Cheese and crackers!

@janbb stole my answer :P

@Haleth : Either you are or are not pretentious. “Kind of pretentious” has no meaning,
pretentionswise.
