Right. So my score: 1 of 22.
The only word I knew was Grimoire, the meeting of which I cannot describe in great detail, but am fairly certain came about while reading Wishsong of Shannara before I realized what shameless and poorly conceived counterfeit Tolkien Terry Brooks was dolling out. Anyway, hooray for my young love of fantasy novels. They led me to know at least one linguistic oddity.
I will say that of the list, I found "retromingent" most interesting. I mean, urinating backwards has my mind picturing all sorts of bizarre things.

Oh no, I don't even know what grimoire means...I'm hopeless.
I think maybe that word only applies to the male of the species.
Are you saying men are hopeless? Because sure, they're lame, but they can have a lot offer.
Oh you mean retromingent. Ah, well that makes more sense. But see, men have a lot to offer. Like retromingency. Okay, I can't conjugate this word.
