Everything in that SAT vocab prep book. Yay. No, seriously. Big words are so fun to use, especially when I do debates/speeches.

Egregious. I started using this word to describe everything that went bad last year.

Myriad is a pleasant alternative to plethora.
I used to be partial to obsequiousness.

YES.
i missed the word myriad in the district spelling bee as a 5th grader. i thought i'd hate it for life (last round, hello?!), but it's one of my favorites.

i like the word grandiloquence.

Therefore.

I know it's not really a big word, but I love the way it connects two fragments or ideas...and projects a fairly intelligent and deep illusion.

I think, therefore I am.
