Okies. The word is unusually long, obscure and a bit silly.

Hmmm... this clearly calls for a 'P', but I still don't know what it is.

P please.

Hmm... a neoligism from the perfectly fine sesquipedalian, which has the same meaning.

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.

<GRUMP>

[EDIT]
Indeed, the Google N-Gram viewer doesn't list hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian at all, but sesquipedalian has long usage. Unlike antidisestablishmentarianism!
