I enjoy learning the pretentious, literary, and unusual synonyms of common words. Please post some in this topic, /lit/. Here are some examples:

Breathe = Suspire

Kiss = Osculate

Sleepwalk = Somnambulate

This is why they seem like regular words to you. To native speakers those are not regular words, no one says this shit, no one's even heard of these words and if you honestly used them in a sentence you would look like a pretentious douche.
