Prolixivity
It seems I work in fartleks.
I've always been this way.
Lucubrate, pandiculate
and wile away the days.
Virago is my goal
but termagant's my best:
obstreperous, anfractuous,
a tumid, zaftig pest.
I find persiflage superfluous,
farraginous muckle sound.
My contumacious spirit
obnubilated, drowned.
I construct invious battlements
to bar propinquity
floccinaucinihilipification
I practice frequently
"What is your point?" you may inquire,
eleemosynarily.
"Manumit my heart!" I will reply,
synallagmatically.

For what it is worth... your definition of 'pendiculate' seems to be the only one of its kind on the Internet. All that I have seen, say that it means to "stretch and yawn".
Perhaps you are using an even lesser known definition that I could not find.
As it turns out, "stretching and yawning" seems to fit the way that you have used the word in you prolix.
