I need to borrow the brains of all you lovely people

[FrostShard]

This may seem like a slightly strange request... but then again, when you compare it to the way I am most of the time, it's not all that surprising.

Anyway, I need some words. Any words. Preferably good ones, though. Nouns, verbs, and adjectives, of the random variety. If everybody could help, I'd be much obliged.

Oh, and anyone who posts a link to webster.com will get a slap.

So... uhh... just post some interesting words. Please. And I am doing this for a purpose, so it doesn't need locked. Right? Uhh... right? *whimper*

[xyzyxx]

ummmmmm... interesting words? OK.


Triskeidekaphobia - fear of the number thirteen.

Hippopotomontrosesquippedaliphobia - Fear of long words.

onomatopoeia - words that sound like sounds for example the word "BOOM"

[Mas Tnega]

dreamt is quite interesting.

[doormat]

Deep Mas, real deep.
The best word is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch. It's welsh for "The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave."
So there.

(The town council website is the worlds longest domain name!)

Did you know that place was actually named like that deliberately to attract tourists? It's seems cheating somehow...

Thanks for the words... I was expecting something more along the lines of "Chicken, cucumber, llama, spleen," but hey - spleen, Hippopotomontrosesquippedaliphobia, what's the difference really?

Strengths. It breaks the standerd English rules of 1/3 letters in a word is a vowel. Its the longest English word to do so.

How about, Dyslexia, I guess you guys now what it means, but most of my friends who have it don't even know how to write it...

[FrostShard]

On the subject, what kind of twisted evil sadist would make the word "dyslexia" so difficult to spell? Hmm... probably the same person who put an S in the word "lisp."

[schumikimi]

But why do you need this words anyways?

oh, then how about:

-spam (noun)
-thwart (verb)
-guinea pig (noun)
-pickled (adjective)
-uterus(noun)
-saunter (verb)

But why do you need this words anyways?

looks like some kinda madlibs to me.

[Miah]

loathed - for hundreds of years, it wasn't considered a word. Even though Shakespeare used it way back in the day

oxymoroniceoquivocater - it simply means 'liar'

antidisestablishmentarianism - a society that is against getting rid of old buildings.

bling-bling - recently added as a vaild word. Guess the chavs will need to make a new word to become more defunct again (h0h0h0)

More later (if I can be arsed)

[FrostShard]

Thanks very much people! (X, you're quite brilliantly - and worryingly - random)

Schumikimi: It's for something I'm starting to work on (despite the fact that my incredible 1337 coding skillz are roughly equal to those of a snail) which I don't want to go on about too much in case something happens and I never finish it. The basic idea's been used a few times before, but I'm planning to add some elements of originalty.

Heh heh. I remember having a two-hour argument with my girlfriend on MSN, trying to persuade her that was a point in the word antidisestablishmentarianism, and that the anti and the dis didn't cancel each other out and become unnecessary.



Yeah, I know. Looking back, it scares me too.

[poortwistedme]

Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing - I know people who apparently has this one

Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture - where bad teeth meets bad food

Arrhenphobia- Fear of men - funnier if you are a man.

Aulophobia- Fear of flutes - worst fobia ever.

Caligynephobia- Fear of beautiful women - ok this one is just weird.

And my favorite:

Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.

You're trying to argue about a word that isn't a real word and not in any *proper* dictonary?
