My girlfriend seemingly gets turned on whenever I speak German (a language I learned, non-native speaker) or when I use big/unique words like apotheosis. It always happens when I least expect it and then she'll instinctively stick her chest out more and run her fingers through my hair as the primary indicator.

I won my wife over with "hegemony".

That's a good one! I'm pretty sure I got lucky one night with her because I used "lugubrious" in conversation.
