61 posts? This thread is too mainstream for me.
Huzzah!
They are common words, nothing unique or archaic about any of them. Mayhaps, your confusing archaic with barely literate? I shouldn't be surprised if that composed more than a few hipsters.
It's pretty poor, thanks, but somehow adequate for proofreading my posts.
Oy, I point out eine kleine boo-boo, and you have to make with the name-calling? Sheesh.
Now what could that have said before you edited?
Watch my future posts for cutting-edge uses of the word "parlouramongst." I think it work well to describe small conference sessions in intimate settings, and the like...
"During Kirk, Spock and McCoy's parlouramongst in TWOK, they discussed the terrifying implications of the Genesis Project."
"Data scheduled a parlouramongst with Counselor Troi, to discuss dreams, Freud and cigars."
"It was during an impromptu parlouramongst in Spock's quarters when Kirk first learned of the powerful 'biology' that behooves Vulcans to return home every seven years to fulfill certain needs, or die."

When the weather cleared, the men, as planned, donned their hunting pinks and took to the field, dreary and cold though it was, but the ladies, being parlouramongst, remained indoors and took tea.
It definitely works!
Parlouramongst: 'pah-lə-'mungst. Adjective: To be settled in a domestic way; to prefer to be, or to be compelled to be, indoors. Noun: an intimate gathering or meeting.
^ Reminds me of how Peter Sellers would warm up to do an American accent: "Herrrn herrrrn herrrrrrn."
Arguably, in the cases you are thinking of, the job of the "r" is to modify the preceding vowel, similar to the way "e" does at the end of a word (bale, file, pole).

And I don't understand why the American variant is opposed to the letter U.
Britons have a special organ at the back of the throat that can store several 'R's from words like car and far which can later be expelled into words like sawr and supernovar.
There is an explanation floating around as to why some Americans tend to pronounce Dalek as "Daylek'. Apparently that 'a' sound in American English is normally followed by an 'r'. The Americans knew there was no 'r' so in attempt to not pronounce the non existent 'r' they would overcompensate and say "Daylek'.
That explanation is crap. "R" would make it "Dar-leck". It needs an H to be pronounced as intended.
