A brilliant set of complex words that could be used in writing!!

I just used some of these and then some at sixwordstories.net.
Here's what I wrote:-
1) She sat there, while I masticated.
2) The siren's voice was mellifluous, hypnotising.
3) Beslobbered, vexed, I opened my portmanteau.
4) Erudite and loquacious, he elucidated.

I'll agree with all but Portmanteau, and not that I'm at all anti-semetic, but Foible reminds me of yiddish, and while not a bad thing as such, it almost compartmentalizes it in my mind to the point that it becomes inherent to the personality, whether it be a caricature in conversation or the imagination or envisioning when reading.
Nonplussed is too pretentious as far as I'm concerned, like something a hipster playing the part of an erudite might say.
Parvenu is beautiful, and if paired appropriately, would be a fitting companion to Nouveau Riche.
Mellifluous stinks of fantabulousness though.

Interestingly, these words are all fairly familiar to me, save "parvenu." Some of them even made my own list of favorites!
