What is your favorite word that no one uses?

[pulse8]

Tomfoolery.

 

[Jugernot]

indubitably

 

[MichaelD]

Iconoclast or used in the phrase "I have iconoclastic tendencies."

Proboscis.

 

[Booster]

My favourite combination of words: 'it's not my business', 'I don't care' and 'It's not my duty'.
