Word guru!

You know your words inside and out. You know the dictionary and everything in it. You know... we better stop otherwise we might end up showing our longiloquence.

I got 6/10 but will admit that a couple of them I figured out the meaning based on the answers available... I couldn't say I've heard them so wouldn't have been able to tell you what they meant without multiple choice.

I mean I didn't actually know any of them, my 5 were educated guesses (maybe a couple not that educated )
