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>

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.

My tiny brain missed that.

Hmmm...dip made an awful lot of sense to me. Uses robot brain again...

hip is lower than lip for sure, but does it make any sense? Hip injuries due to icy sidewalks? Zip as zero could make sense too. Context of words is so hard to figure out *robot brain starts smoking*

hip?

doubleshuffle · 02-05-2015, 06:04 PM

Yes. Of course it's hip. You know, as in when you're hip, you're cool, when you're a square, you're uncool.....

HomeInMyShoes · 02-06-2015, 09:24 AM

Now it makes sense.
