In sooth, such verbiage oft falls from my lips.

I have students who think of a Chinese word, put it through a translating dictionary, and ignore the bit where it says "obs.".
So I get essays with words like vainglorious, nidering, etc.
These are kids who sometimes don't know words like collapse, circular, etc.

P.S. Tribadism: two women, legs interwoven, each rubbing their thigh against the other's crotch (and vice versa, presumably). FYI. TMI?
