A very underused adjective in my opinion.

Kisses - do you find people circumlocute you and eschew your company? If so are you nonplussed and flabbergasted?

No: I react with celerity and vim.

I scour away the detritus from family ablutions with Vim.

And Vigour?

We don't refer to vigour much nowadays really.

I think "nefarious" is a much underused word...

The only place I've come across "oleaginous" was in an episode of Judge John Deed. One of the old barristers described weasling Goverment officials as "oleaginous reptiles". Excellent.
