Lying in Bed
The novel "Lying in Bed" by J. D. Landis, was about the obsessive love of a diaskeuast. Landis used a lot of words that were new to me. Here's a list of them, in case you want to drop one while lying in bed. I can't vouch for their accuracy, several of them may be coinages. You never know with the hyper-literate ...

Didn't this one appear in the hyper-literate aue just in the last week or so? I think I made a hypo-literate pun about "armpit" from it.

Ambit is a good one. Due to my limited cranial capacity, I may limit myself to memorizing and tossing off some of the smaller ones.

Yes, you're right - I wrote it down wrong. The phrase was 'a concupiscent sort of dance'.

I've got to admit there were only about a dozen words in that list that I knew, but of those dozen words, most of them I consider to be pretty much in common use.
