English is not my native language but there are some words in it that are just great.

So apropos of nothing at all, here are some of my faves. Wonder if I can use them in papers. The result was piffle? There was a scintilla of an effect? The worms were pullulating? The reviewer is being persnickety?

Susurrus
Orrery
Persnickety
Murmuration
Scintilla
Tenebrous
Kerfuffle
Piffle
Borborygmi
Pullulate
Palimpsest

And now this toot is definitely sesquipedalian.
