TODAYTODAYTODAYTODAYTODAY!!!!! Unless, of course, they are defenestrated...

Too funny! We're all trying to use the word here as much as possible, too.
Once again, the Great Stefan has inspired my son. (It's funny........he actually makes me go looking for whatever Stefan's posted lately!)

Lori, when do you get your Hognose Snakes?

[Stefan-A]

I'm still tickled pink over learning "defenestration"-- that's my word of the day today, I have to get both girls at work to use it!! Wonderful word!!!

My word of the day is "antidisestablishmentarianism".

[adamanteus]

I believe it's no longer the longest word in the English language..... I don't know what the new one is though.

[Stefan-A]

Recently, the 2007 edition of Guiness Book of World Records listed "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" as the longest word in the English language. The medical term is a lung disease, caused by the "inhalation of very fine silica dust." This too was a purposely coined word, with the explicit intent of being a long word.

I'll stick with houmous.

[Stefan-A]

I'll stick with *******.

That's more like it.

'Houmous' is unique in that it is the only word known to man that reads 'suomuoh' when written backwards. No other word can do this.
It also contains both bowels and incontinence, which is very rare in any language.

[anji1971]

I think it's safe to assume that my son won't be using either of those two words often.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if next time his asthma acts up he tells everyone he's suffering from pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, just for fun!

I think the SpellCheck on my computer just had a nervous breakdown on that word........
