Back in my mis-spent youth, one of my friends always talked about buying a satchel of weed.

Here's a NYTimes list of the top 50 words readers look up:<br><br><a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/topics/bafflingwords.pdf" target="_blank">http://graphics8.nytimes.com/package...flingwords.pdf</a><br><br><i>fealty</i> always sounds like one of those words you shouldn't say in front of your mom.<br><br>
Or your aunt.
 
Penultimate - it means next to last.<br><br><br>
I specifically remember learning this word in ninth grade Spanish. A basic pronunciation rule that was drilled in my head was "If the word ends in a vowel, N or S, stress the penultimate syllable."
