Simple, really: Just state your word of the day. Pick a word, any word, obscure or not. Modern or archaic. Just remember to explain why it's the word of the day, and what it means.
My word is immolation. The reason for this is because it is a word that makes me laugh, though killing something with fire ain't funny, the word itself is.
Quote by meredith
Doppelgänger - An eerie double or counterpart to a real person. That is NOT a twin.
I've always thought this word was interesting as to how it came to be part of the English language. As it turns out it has a Germanic roots. Doppel meaning double and ganger meaning walker or goer. In some ways you have to admire the Germans for their efficiency in making up new word. They just stick two or more words together to come up with a new one.

I've actually seen my Doppelgänger, and it's a very strange, surreal experience.
So, going by that, I'll say 'surreal', for my word of the day:
Adjective
1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of surrealism, an artistic and literary style; surrealistic.
2. Having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic.
I do enjoy a little surreality on occasion.
