Curmudgeon: the word that sounds like what it is.

Which brings us to onomatopoeia, the funny sounding word that means funny sounding words.

Cobbler a solid word. Both a tasty campfire treat, and a dude who fixes shoes.

In the same line of thinking, "sartorial". 

Back when I was working retail at a high-end (mostly men's) clothing store, I would tell people that I was a habberdasher.  Certainly sounded better than, "I work at the mall".

Dammmmn, you're really good.  A woman who treats her husband as worth nothing, as I remember it from the OED.

I knew a different version of the same word, without the -trix on it. So I was working from knowing the word, not like... being awesome at Latin.
