I think she had several cocktails before this video…She sounds wasted…:)
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.
:shock: :lol: :grin:
[POMPOUS}---how is it cuLtured?...how do they say fuck in Russian?

Nice just how polished your early works are.
Thank you and thank you for the Russian language lessons.
Subways’ new Sesquipedalian sandwich it’s 18 inches long a whole foot and a half. :smile: :smile:
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 ;)
I love that jacket! …and the hair, and eyes, the one long take…. :mrgreen:
HOORAY! This marks the first time she used the old intro screen when our trusty hotforwords would decide to investigate!
:grin:
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

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
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.
its the longest technical word…but the longest non technical word is floccinaucinihilipilification
i won’t even remember the first part of the word
u r so pretty :oops:
You look absolutely stunning. :shock:
Nice hairs :roll: .
Nice video.
Rock ‘n’ roll chick hair. Love it! :grin:
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:
I ask for the word ‘hip’, like you.
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.
Bully in the alley?
