Petrichor isn’t dead. It’s the word to describe the smell after it rains. It might not be on the top of everyone’s tongues but it does pop up regularly where there is rain and someone asks, “How do I describe the smell after it rains?”
The other words on this list are revivable.
Petrichor was just used in a random conversation I was in two weeks ago.
"Rawgabbit" and "pawky" seem particularly useful these days.
People don’t say dollop?
Dollop isn't so uncommon either, I don't think. I mainly use it in a food context: a dollop of sour or whipped cream, or of some sauce, is a common accoutrement to many a dish. My vocabulary probably could use a dollop more of fun uncommon words!
People say "cellar door" is the most beautiful phrase in the English language. I say "petrichor" is the most pretentious word in the English language.
