last night, he said

so last night i was up until 2am watching australia take on ghana in the world cup. while watching the game/ trying not to fall asleep in the aquarius bar i started talking to a guy about any cool words (or big words or fancy words) we try and use on a regular basis to impress people.
i didn't have one.
how sad.

so i have now been dilligently google-ing "word of the day" to try and uncover a word that will become my conversational gemstone.
words that have come up include:

amok\uh-MUHK\ , adjective;
1.In or into a jumbled or confused state.2.In or into an uncontrolled state or a state of extreme activity.3.In a frenzy to do violence or kill.

auspicious • \aw-SPISH-us\ • adjective
*1 : promising success : favorable
2 : fortunate, prosperous

Acerbic [a·cer·bic] adj. Sharp or biting, as in character or expression: The director occasionally allowed an acerbic tone to an otherwise subtle dialogue.

weird that on three different sites all of the words of the day started with an S. no?

anywho, none of these is the weapon of a word that i am searching for. a word that i can throw out in casual conversation and blow people's minds. nonetheless the search continues on.
