Most recent one is a phrase, not a word, but it’s 伏せる, which means “to lie down/crouch”.
I learned it from a WK thread that I read today, along with the fact that it’s an intransitive verb.

It’s not inherently imperative, that commenter just meant that particular example manga sentence was using the imperative form…

代わりに - “instead”. Learned it this morning when I asked for yogurt instead of natto at breakfast.
I love Japanese food and I am fairly adventurous but natto fully falls into WTF catergory for me.

コンクール = contest / competition – Remembering is problematic too, so I think of contest + cool (だぜ) for now. I don’t know French (real origin).

Funny enough my mother tongue has “konkurs” which might share the French origin of this one.
狂犬 - mad dog
I kind of want to believe it means “rabid dog”, but probably not…

Learned this word from this week’s reading of Hunter x Hunter:
有りとあらゆる = every conceivable; every single; every possible; all kinds of
In Jisho, it shows that it appears in the word: ありとあらゆる種類の食材を含んだ料理, a description of the Greek word:
Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon
( λοπαδοτεμαχοσελαχογαλεοκρανιολειψανοδριμυποτριμματοσιλφιοκαραβομελιτοκατακεχυμενοκιχλεπικοσσυφοφαττοπεριστεραλεκτρυονοπτοκεφαλλιοκιγκλοπελειολαγῳοσιραιοβαφητραγανοπτερύγων)
= “name of a dish compounded of all kinds of dainties, fish, flesh, fowl, and sauces” (apparently the longest word to appear in literature).
