Words are Hard

Something I've noticed lately is that I have a pretty extensive vocabulary, but I have no idea what half the words mean. Does anyone else have this problem? For instance, I know how to pronounce and spell the word "sordid", but I haven't the slightest idea how to use it in conversation. All I've been able to gather thus far is that "sordid" means something bad.

I used to just wing it and try to use some of these fancier words, but I quickly learned that is not a good idea. See, calling your dog a "cesspool of joy" is not only a contradiction, but it makes you sound like an idiot and your dad will have to explain how to correctly use the word "cesspool".
