According to the Detroit Free Press, Wayne State University "unveiled its annual list of the top 10 most useful--and underused--words in the English language":

• Buncombe: Rubbish; nonsense; empty or misleading talk.

• Cerulean: The blue of the sky.

• Chelonian: Like a turtle.

• Dragoon: To compel by coercion; to force someone to do something they'd rather not.

• Fantods: Extreme anxiety, distress, nervousness or irritability.

• Mawkish: Excessively sentimental; sappy; hopelessly trite.

• Natter: To talk aimlessly, often at great length; rarely, it means simply to converse.

• Persiflage: Banter; frivolous talk.

• Troglodyte: Literally, a cave-dweller. More frequently a backward, mentally sluggish person.

• Winkle: To pry out or extract something; from the process of removing the snail from an edible periwinkle.
