Words people should use more #1

There are a lot of words from the English language that are rarely used and deserve a place in modern day culture. I have compiled a few into a list.

• abnegation - saying 'no' to something desired
• to acquiesce - to accept something with reluctance but without protesting
• canard - a false rumour
• collation - a light relaxed meal
• condign - deserved punishment
• conflagration - a destructive fire
• exegesis - an analysis
• exiguous - very small in size
• eyrie -  a high-up place
• fandango - silly nonsense
• gambit - a ploy
• gelded - weakened
• gelid - very cold
