Well today I came across the word hyfaluted in a post... so that was pretty up there. No others come to mind at the moment, but I did recently read a book which was totally like that. And it was soooooo out of place. The book was chill then BAM it was like I was hit with a thesaurus as words felt haphazardly plugged in. lol
I love LOVE. <3

Highfalutin is definitely the one! ;)
