very nice idea. people can come up with some very cool public lists, like the http://wordstash.com/lists/167-100-words-you-should-know

just for fun here's a sentence with 11 of those words: my fatuous and vacuous chicanery in pecuniary jejune only serve to inculcate me the quotidian need to abrogate the belie of ego--my circumlocutious lexicon aside.



Unfortunately, that isn't a sentence: "jejune" is an adjective, not a noun; "belie" is a verb, not a noun; "inculcate" takes an indirect object with "in", not a direct object. (Well, it does take a direct object, but it's the thing being inculcated, not the person it's being done to.)
