4) opsimath
5) schadenfreude (in reference to people I don’t know, of course)
6) apeirophobia
7) zaftig
compadre
9) hypermnesia (as in my own, wishfully)
10) nugatory
11) hoi polloi
12) schicki-micki

   Dude I don’t know what some of those words mean and I used to be called the Word girl. I laud your conversational intentions though.

   I will now be using apeirophobia every week during Doctor Who.
