Sesquipedalian

Bully in the alley?

Pompous your not. Most of us can’t even come close to pronouncing these words. :smile: Much less knowing what they mean or their word origins.

I ask for the word ‘hip’, like you.

Nice hairs :roll: .

Nice video.

Rock ‘n’ roll chick hair. Love it! :grin:

You look absolutely stunning. :shock:

u r so pretty :oops:

i won’t even remember the first part of the word

Want a long word? What about PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPSILICOVOLCANICONIOSIS? :shock:
This guy on youtube states it’s the longest word in english. Is it true?

Check it out at: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=xLjlbWRPlX8

Sorry the word isPNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOP(IC)SILICOVOLCANICONIOSIS

its the longest technical word…but the longest non technical word is floccinaucinihilipilification

tedt: do you still watch these great videos? I’m just wondering? Jestering from the capital of Hotforwords—-The Republic of Lexicon :wink: :roll: :lol:

I will be back :cool:

I study Chemistry, it is hard work because I worked before, and went back to school. It is hard to get all this stuff into my “lazy” head, I prefer watching videos :razz: .

tedt: Good luck with the hard work. Chemistry is much to master and rewards civility. I read back in other comments, how in your country, it is law to help people in auto accidents; makes sense to me. from wisconsin, u.s.of a….thanks for the reply :cool:

It’s a lung illness from inhaling volcanic ash. It is also the longest word in the second oxford english dictionary, measuring in at 45 letters.

hehe i know something which is 1 and a half foot long…

sorry marina had to say that…

okay to start with.

hippo:large animal…
nothing rings a bell here….
sesquipedalio: explained by you however here its slightly different, as i think it is approximately changed because of the time it is spoken in or something like that, some languages even do this with names(poland and if i am not mistaken rusia does this as well!!!)
phobia: to be afraid of something.

HOW… :smile: Quote

HOORAY! This marks the first time she used the old intro screen when our trusty hotforwords would decide to investigate!
:grin:

I love that jacket! …and the hair, and eyes, the one long take…. :mrgreen:

I was living in Mexico when this first came out. Must have seen it once when I reviewed all the past lesson.

I really should take the time to review some of the early lesson with the cute and innocent Marina.

Che ;)

Subways’ new Sesquipedalian sandwich it’s 18 inches long a whole foot and a half. :smile: :smile:

Thank you and thank you for the Russian language lessons.

Nice just how polished your early works are.

I just love that adorable “just woke up” look and almost shy smile of your earlier work. So doggone cute, then and now…

Sesquipedalian has long been one of my favorite words to test spell checkers and electronic dictionaries. That and plenipotentiary.

Often when I’m explaining something technical I’ll say, “Excuse me but I’m about to wax sesquipedalian.” That confuses most people.

I think she had several cocktails before this video…She sounds wasted…:)
