"Perfidous" I would have gotten after some thought...maybe. I should have stopped myself from reading your definition first. "Parvenous" and the latin stuff were way over my head.
I wouldn't be ashamed of the "simpler" words in your list. One can't remember all words, especially under-used ones.
I love using scraps of paper as bookmarks so I can write down words that catch my fancy. I have this great envelope I used as a bookmark for
On the Road - definitely a keeper.
