I like the word "catacombs". Unfortunately, I don't find much opportunity to drop it into day-to-day conversation. Wonder why?

I've been managing to squeeze the word 'sagaciously' into conversations... but not enough

i've always liked the word Terrain, for some reason,
but my favourite of made-up words is Barg.
BARG!
Doesn't that just say it all?

Y'know, I was thinking of quagmire just the other day.
When I looked at our garden.

Of course rambunctious is a word!
And I get to use the word "copious" all the time!
My workfriends and I get so bored selling travel insurance on the phone that we challenge each other to slip in random words into our conversations, and sometimes the conversation gets REALLY convoluted. The poor customers must come off the phone and think "hold on a bloody second...what were we talking about bookshelves for...?"
Jon is reigning champion at the moment, having slotted "gangrenous", "upholstery" and "gusset" in to one five minute conversation. He made the sale, too.

That has, in all honesty, quite cheered me up at the end of a rather dull working day.
Thank you.

We aim to please, Geggsy.
I'll check this thread again tomorrow, and if you like you can offer up challenges, one word at a time, and I'll slip them in the next conversation I have on the phone and let you know how I did it to give you a . If you take calls at work too then we can have a two player game. 
No swear words or racially offensive stuff allowed. What do you reckon?
I'm on a 8:30 til 7:00 shift tomorrow.

That place in Malaysia? Yeah, that's a good word, and it sounds like a bullet ricocheting off a rock.
