Apodyopsis to Colposinquanonia
greenfairy.com has a short list of rare (but genuine - as far as I can tell) words. I love these and I'm regularly guilty of at least 2 of the following:
Apodyopsis - The act of mentally undressing someone
Colposinquanonia - Estimating a woman's beauty based on her chest
Lalochezia - The use of foul or abusive language to relieve stress or ease pain
Sphallolalia - Flirtatious talk that leads nowhere
Tarantism - An urge to overcome melancholy by dancing
