Well, "defenestration" (the act of throwing something or someone out of a window) and "tintinnabulation" (the ringing sound of bells) are my favourite words, but they're probably too rare to be simply uncommon.
I think I too went with a rare word rather than an uncommon word. In fact I am unsure how to use my word in a sentence but it is such a deliciously unnecessary word not to have mentioned it :P I really like yours too. Words like these are part of what I love about the English language. It's like practicality is a side thought that we take into consideration if it is convenient to the situation. :D
Consiquently, this is why I love british comedy skits designed around using stupudly verbose language to discuss completely mundane things. This has been done very well a few time in the show "A of Fry and Laurie."
