I found this interesting word while researching an article on Hugo Chavez. It refers to military intervention in the government. Here is where I found praetorianism.
Oblomovism is not so much being lazy. It is more a feeling of comfort with your own existence so deep that even obviously necessary change becomes more trouble than it is worth.

I found a reference to mellifluous in regard to the flow of the written word at Frog Princeps it is a blog:
"The book rewards the reader with a mellifluous flow of language that will startle, intrigue and bewitch the reader."
