amygdaliform
From the Word of the Day:
amygdaliform a·myg·da·li·form [uh-mig-duh-luh-fawrm] adjective
almond-shaped
She is naturally blonde, pale, with amygdaliform eyes and high cheekbones.
- Gulnar Nazarkhan, The Secret World
This is a word I didn't know and don't think I've ever seen it. I know I've never heard it used in conversation. It's also a word that I think is unnecessary. Instead of saying someone has amygdaliform eyes, why not just say they have almond-shaped eyes? At least people would understand what you meant and not have to go look it up.

Not sure what a broken TV has to do with a website, but I got the gist of it. Actually, that's how I often feel after watching the Dallas Cowboys play.

potvaliancy
From the Word of the Day module (in left-hand column)
potvaliancy pot-val·iant [pot-val-yuhnt] adjective
brave only as a result of being drunk.
Interesting word, and one of which I wasn't familiar...although it seems as though that should be "drunkvaliancy"; "potvaliancy" would be brave as a result of being stoned, although that might very well be an oxymoron.
