colporteur - a peddler of religious books (not to be confused with Cole Porter)
coprolite - fossilized excrement
feckless - ineffectual; worthless
muliebrity - femininity
pixilated - slightly unbalanced mentally, bemused
vomitory - the entrance piercing the banks of seats of a stadium

and, of course:
