Tim Gunn is a Dictionary.

This is why I watch Project Runway. I was watching the reunion show (in prep for the finale) and they discussed Tim Gunn's vocabulary. Here are some of the words the contestants were amazed by:
Mitigating
Consternation
Caucus
Circuitous
Egregious

Here's my secret: This is one of the reasons I love this show. It is bright and witty. It doesn't insult my intelligence and actually assumes I have some.

And yes, I have been known to use all of these words.
