Buffalo, because the following is valid sentence:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

How many Buffalo buffalo could buffalo Buffalo if Buffalo buffalo could buffalo Buffalo?

Also a counter attack in sword fighting.

Effluent - I like the sound of it
Macgyver - I like it used as a verb
My favourite however has to be backpfeifengesicht. This German word is, literally, a face that cries for a fist in it. it means one who would benefit from a fist to the face.
We all know a backpfeifengesicht or two in our lives I think.

Paramecium. I think it's way fun to read and say. They're interesting to watch under the microscope, too.
Chuunibyou - Japanese for "Middle Schooler Syndrome".
It's hard to describe but the Japanese use it to describe posers, hipsters and people who are delusional and possibly think they have powers. I could loosely describe it as someone who never grew out of their make-believe phase past the acceptable age. It's kind of like how Jace has that delusion that he's a Marine, how Pixy has the delusion that she's the sexiest woman alive and not even Hal could resist her or how Chris thinks he has powers. I found the word interesting because I think it's one that desperately needs an English equivalent; something that lolcow doesn't quite describe.

"Phantasmagoria" is a favourite of mine. I also like the French version "fantasmagorie".
