I'm familiar with those only due to Shakespeare. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "malapert", but have heard definitely heard friends say, "<person> was hoisted with <his/her/their/my> own petard" occasionally while playing board games as a teenager. Those friends must have picked it up from Hamlet. None of us used SRS for vocabulary building back then. We just read a lot.
