Expressions

I really enjoy it when I say something and my interlocutor comments that while they know the word or expression from their reading, they've never heard anyone use it in conversation.

Yes. Like the word "interlocutor!"

One time I meant to say "interlocutor" and instead said "cirumlocutor" which amused [livejournal.com profile] dpolicar no end, for its accidentally accurate description.
