Come to England, we use those words ALL THE TIME.
Except just now.
I've thought at least two of them of the last week in my daily thought-ramblings (Betwixt and Gobsmacked)
"Queue" and "obfuscate" are used almost daily by bit twiddlers.
Ah yes, but do you say things like,
"Overcome with rage, she smote him soundly betwixt the gorget and breatplate, flesh easily giving way.
"As the knight's head was neatly sundered from his body, she grimly wiped the blood from her eyes, then swung her halberd again, nearly cleaving the man's chest in twain."
Because if you do, that'd be kooler than Jesus.
