Try slipping this one into your daily conversations:
A sesquipedalian is 'a very long word' (literally 'a foot-and-a-half-long' word)
It can also be used as an adjective to describe the 'use of very long words'.
I like it. But what I love best about this word is that unlike 'phonetic' which is not actually phonetic, sesquipedalian is sesquipedalian.
