Indeed, since sesquipedalian literally means something that's 18 inches (45cm) long, it's a very good word for long words. Bunging hippopotamus and monstrous at the start doesn't enhance it in my eyes.

I thought of using sesquipedalian, but I wanted something that was a bit more difficult. There are a few dictionaries that recognize the word, in particular
Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words by Josefa H. Byrne.
