Default Underused Words

So, in conversation with a friend today, the word "shan't" came up, and we both stopped to admire what a sweet, shamefully underused it is. That got me thinking about making a list of awesome words that should be used more.

I'll start the list:

- Shan't "Mr. Guccitori shan't be returning."
- Thrice - "I've been told thrice."
- Niggardly - "He's such a niggardly bastard."

Edit: Use your word in a sentance when you post it. (those of you who have already posted, use the edit function.)
