sionnach commented on the list pretentious-words-i-ve-used-in-art-history-papers
agathocacological in its scope, sesquipedalian yet devoid of bombast, the mellifluous, parrhesiastic character of this list is a consummate example of the kind of logodaedaly achievable only by the true aristophren, as well as capturing the quintessential, numinous fin-de-siecle decadence, the proustian ipsedixitism, if you will, that so epitomizes the zeitgeist in an era of gotterdammerung, the eschatological numbness so emblematic of a society dedicated to hedonic autolatry and the wilful disregard for the chthonic forces of the primal darkness assembled at the gates of valhalla, awaiting the chiliastic arrival of that promised rough beast, slouching toward Gehenna.

I've used some of these myself, just to sound pretentious in art history papers. I inadvertently invented a couple:
postmonerd n: Someone who knows way too much about contemporary art theory
clutture n: An abundance of culturally significant objects taking up space
