Enjoy New Words?

Here is a list of nine words which I wrote down, after reading a book which trod down my 'lexical ego,' wedged my vocabulary wide open and forced me to get my dictionary out in humble submission.

I have listed them in order in which the words are most fun to say aloud. Enjoy...

2. Simulacrum - a slight, unreal, or superficial likeness or semblance.
