Discombobulated!
I just thought of one that I've never had cause to use in conversation: "philomot," meaning "having the color of a dead leaf."
Palimpsest - it's like a document that's been re-used but still shows some of the previous words underneath. Or a bit like a whiteboard that has 'burnt-in' marker showing after being erased.
Try these on for size:
Epicaricacy - Schadenfreude, but sounds fancier
Coprophagous - shit eating. As in: "A coprophagous grin"
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Used to be known by pretty much every kid in at least the US.
(Edited to clarify that maybe outside the US also)
Was The Sound of Music only popular in the US? I'd assumed it was also popular in Europe given the setting.
Also, this word was an exercise in the gifted classes I got put in in elementary school. The idea was to try to spell it without looking it up.
I don't know about The Sound of Music (I've only seen clips) but supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was popularized here (and maybe elsewhere) by Mary Poppins.
Am I mixing up the movies maybe? It's quite early here so my brain may not be working at 100%.

It’s back to copy/paste url in your browser because google enshittify your share button. Not your fault
Hapax legomenon.
Yesterday I was trying to think of the difference between audacious and bodacious and I could really use some help with that.
