Dichotomy. My god, if there was ever a word loved by academics (and a couple of my friends)... last year I think I heard it at least twice a day (coincidence? I think NOT!), which is too often for a word so uncommon.
On a slightly related tangent, I like the word niggardly, but chances are slim to none that I will end up using it in conversation due to the word it resembles.
