    After hearing that I posted on his word of the day, a friend wrote: "If that all it takes to impress Erich, I’ll unleash the rest of the arcane words that I never get to use, lest I be accused of vilipending!"

    OK, so now I had to go look up "vilipending": 1. To view or treat with contempt; despise. 2. To speak ill of; disparage.
