My favourite words at the moment

As it says on my sidebar, I like big wordy thingies.

For your reading pleasure, I thought I might share a few with you. Some of them are quite relevant at present.

Intransigence: Refusing to moderate a position, especially an extreme position; uncompromising

Pernicious: causing insidious harm or ruin; ruinous; injurious; hurtful

Apropos: with reference to; concerning.

Surfeit: an overabundant supply : excess

Insouciant: carefree

Soporific: sleep inducing or sleepy

Mendacious:  given to or characterized by deception or falsehood or divergence from absolute truth 

Circuitous: Having a circular or winding course, not the most direct route, not being forthright or direct in language or action


There are lots more, but I shan't bore you.

What is your favourite word? Perhaps put it in a sentence.
