You, my friend, are EXTRAORDINARY. I use a grand total of 0.0.

I still use impecunious, and I'm curious what other four you still use? I think kakistocracy has potential for resurgence.
-
I use none of them and don't think I ever have. You've got my curiosity, which 5 do you use ?? +5
-
I have been knows to say, Zounds!. I have said, More on MSN, a few times, too.

Anatiferous is never off my lips. I say none of them, and have only heard of zounds, younker, impecunious, hunkers, and dandiprat (though I wouldn't have been able to tell you what that actually was without looking it up). I like kakistocracy though, as we say kack meaning shit, so it seems pretty apt.
-
I never use any of those words but I LOVE the word "buffleheaded". I can use that for a number of people!
-
Fun article! Don't use any, but I think I will start to now.
