Grandiloquent Dictionary

"This is the result of an ongoing project to collect and distribute the most obscure and rare words in the English language. It also contains a few words which do not have equivalent words in English. At present, the dictionary contains approximately 2300 words, though it is constantly growing. "

Lori over at Celebrating The Absurd came across the dictionary and made the following observation:

But, really, even on the first page ('A' words), there are some useful ones.
Haven't we all met an:
aeolist - A pompous windy bore who pretends to have inspiration

Or aren't we often guilty of:
abligurition - Excessive spending on food and drink
