Remember, KansasRef, my observation was that it was an obsolete word, not because it was SAT level.

But now I get to have some fun:

From the "Christmas Who?" episode of Spongebob Squarepants:

Squidward:
"My wish is that the people of Bikini Bottom will stop paying any attention to the inane drivel that is constantly streaming out of this dunderhead's mouth."

SpongeBob SquarePants:
"Gee, Squidward, maybe Santa will bring me a dictionary so I can understand what you just said."
