I would wager that any writer that actually uses this word in a piece intended for publication has cum stains on his thesaurus. Or is wildly pretentious. Possibly both.

gallimaufry [ˌgælɪˈmɔːfrɪ]

n pl -fries

a jumble; hotchpotch

[from French galimafrée ragout, hash, of unknown origin]

First Century Rome played host to a gallimaufry of religions.

We have a gallimaufry of posters here at MER.
