Fancy Words 2
Here's another list. I know that the first one was short, mainly because I was tired and didn't feel like making it properly useful. As an apology for my laziness, I shall make this one much more in-depth for you fine folks. As you may be able to tell, I am a huge fan of obscure English words and such.
