All words are cool if you don't know what they mean. If the reader knows what it means but the writer doesn't, the effects are less predictable and desirable.

I disagree. I don't know what "venial" means, but I don't think it sounds as cool as "penultimate" :-)

well not knowing what venial means is venial after all.

I'd upvote you, but then you'd know I was lying (which isn't as venial).
