As the list gets longer, it'll be useful to see what words have already been posted (if you'd rather not duplicate). It may be interesting to see what kinds of words have been used, too.
To that end, I've started this alphabetical list. When you post a new word to the thread, please also add it here. 
Alpenglow
amativeness
apropos
autodidact
bivouac
buckminsterfullerene-esque
chthonic
denouement
enigmatic
evanescent
ginormous
harf
hemidemisemiquaver
hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
iconoclast
inception
metrosexual
molybdenum
oxymoron
paradigm
paradox
penultimate
peregrinating
petulant
quaff
quibble
Quibbles and Bits
recumbent
refudiate
troll
If the list gets too cumbersome, somebody can divide it up.

Thanks RichP. It looks like it had an interesting usage during Roman times.
Back to surfing, er I mean peregrinating around the internet.
