I know this isn't the most interesting of threads, buuuuuuut, I happen to be a Word-Nerd. So! Let us start with some of our favorite underused words. My personal favorites are:

Underutilized
Discombobulated
Anomily
Octagonapus

Ha, that last one was a joke. I think everyone probably guessed.

Do non-English words count? My favorite German words are ausgezeichnet and Eichhörnchen. :D

SugaAndSpice:
Translate, please? I speak only English, un poquito de Español, y un poquito to de Greek. It's sad how much Greek I have forgotten in two years.

Adrai Thell:
Not an answer, Willowham, but...

I love the word octothorpe. Seriously, best ever.

And of course there's the stupidly long word with no real need to exist, antidisestablishmentarianism. Favorite of a friend who tried to impress everyone by rattling it off in conversation every once in a while, without it pertaining to the sentence in any way...

Oh oh, and my favorite Lithuanian word so far is the word for thank you. A?i?. Which keeps not showing up correctly on my screen for some reason.
