Adieu. No one really says it, but I love the way it sounds whenever I see Shakespeare. I usually say it for a while afterwards. People look at me wierd. So I say it too myself until I forget....Thanks for reminding me I like it. !! Adieu!! Until the morrow.

Dawdle. I like the way it sounds and the mini adventures that can be experienced while dawdling. My mom was always telling me to quit dawdling and come along. But I smelled the flowers, watched the ants, petted the dog, waved at a stranger, said goodnight to the fish, etc. in my dawdling time.

Perfunctory - if only for the way it sounds.

Sternocleidomastoid. The next time your neck feels sore say, "My sternocleidomastoid is feeling a bit tender (or any other appropriate adjective)." Typically a priceless reaction from folks that don't know to what you are referring.

burke- definition: to smother people in order to sell their bodies for dissection. (Un)fortunately, I don't find many opportunities to use this word.
