Someone should start a thread for fake words. I think eclipse once started one and there was another one called "fun words" (or something like that) where people came up with funny definitions to words. A combination of the two would be good.

BH: Fantastical is a gr8 word. Similar to some from Eclipse's thread. She had wonderful words there such as fantabulous and awesometatious.
See http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/words-your-family-made-up
Come back, Eclipse! Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever came up with witty, lomdish and original threads as she did. She was head & shoulders above the rest of us. Check out the threads she started at

Anybody have any news of her since she gave her computer away?

My favorite word is haecceity. It's such a funny word. Also its counterpart quiddity. :)
Also sesquipedalian, for the same reason. :D

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I love it because even though it's long it's easy to spell if you're able to keep all the different parts in order, and it makes you sound smart :). (It's a disease people get in mines, I believe.)
Did you know Disraeli was an antidisestablishmentarianist? I learned it in AP Euro.Posted 1 year ago # -

Bah, technical words. Might as well memorize:
Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphenylalanylalanylglutaminylleuc yllysylglutamylarginyllysylglutamylglycylalanylphenylalanylvalylprolylphenylalanylvalylthreonylleucylgl ycylaspartylprolylglycylisoleucylglutamylglutaminylserylleucyllysylisoleucylaspartylthreonylleucylisoleu cylglutamylalanylglycylalanylaspartylalanylleucylglutamylleucylglycylisoleucylprolylphenylalanylseryla spartylprolylleucylalanylaspartylglycy...

kapusta: Awww, thanks! I really appreciate that :).
I'm always nervous about revealing my age on forums, because people tend to discount what teens say based on their age.
OOM: That's why I stick with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Just as impressive-sounding if said and much easier. (In fact, is it possible to SAY your word?)Posted 1 year ago # -
Probably not. But don't attribute any ownership of that word to me - I renounce it entirely. :) Also, totally with you about age - in fact, I rarely say my age in real life, either. :P

OOM: I wish I could do that--- but when you're stuck in high school the whole day, it's hard to escape, unfortunately.

As far as onomatopoeic words go (hey, that's a great word itself, come to think of it), I like squelch. It sounds EXACTLY like what it means.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Best onomatopoeic word EVER is susurrus.

I've just discovered a great one--- acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin). It just sounds so cool.

Actually this gives me an idea. I'm gonna start a new thread of weird place names. That should be fun!

I just took my AP Euro exam, and apparently in the 1400s were some German wars called, wait for it, the Schmalkadic Wars! I don't know why, but I found that so hilarious (maybe because nothing else in European history is funny at all.....).
