Lexiphanic Words

The use of pretentious terminology to befuddle the ordinary.

Farrago (noun)

This word literally means mixed together, such as a mixture of grains. The implication here is that the mixture is without any semblance of order. Therefore the word can easily be used to describe your closet or desk. Use it at work for a seemingly benign compliment: “I wish I could be so farraginous with my workspace as you.” (Source: Merriam-Webster’s 365 New Words Calendar)
