Bill O’Reilly gives us his favorite obscure words, so you can call someone a nebbish pettifogger, if you like. Isn’t pecksniffian a Dickens’ word?

I hate to be a pettifogger, but “nebbish” is a noun, not an adjective. “He’s a nebbish,” would be proper use.
I note he lists “codswallop,” one of my personal favorites.
Nebbish–what a blooter I am. I may have to flog myself.
