All words are sourced from my copy of The Superior Person's Book of Words by Peter Bowler, which is actually much less pretentious than it sounds, and is quite funny to flick through on a rainy day. If you love big words, complex words, interesting words, or just words in general, I suggest you buy a copy.
1. Labrose. Means "thick lipped".
2. Mucilage. Refers to (or anything similar to) chewing gum, glue or paste.
3. Sempiternal. Basically a fancy way of saying "eternal".
4. Suffumigate. "To subject to smoke or fumes".
5. Macrology. A long and tiresome talk or conversation.
