Double Tongued Word Wrestler looks like a great site. I'm just in the process of exploring it now, but I thought I'd share.

That's very cool.

I had a cute little roommate who was far more complimentary than I ever deserved. She asked me once if I would teach her a "big word" every day and then would honestly try to employ them in conversation. I think we should do something similar - have a big word du jour.

Cool site. I've seen it before but apparently forgot about it. The nice thing about it is that it's done by a professional lexicographer, unlike sites like Urbandictionary.com.
