The very first site I stumbled across is my site of the day. 

Words to Know by Phil Hartman

The site design is circa 1995 (I know this for a fact because I used that same floral spacer gif on my very first web site created with AOLPress), but the information is golden.

I have a fairly large working vocabulary, but there were a couple of new ones for me, like bathos (an anticlimax) and   epigone (a second rate imitator or follower).

So the next time someone irritates you don't argue with them,  inveigh against their position. 

Tell your spouse you're not complaining, it's a jeremiad.

If you incorporate these words into your speech, people will think you are a polymath.
