anti-clockwise
Hmmm. Come to think of it, I tend to get out of bed in an anti-clockwise mood.

I keep my clock out of easy reach so I can't break it before I'm fully awake.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I like to be fully awake when I break my clock so I can truly savor the moment.

even better than that word, anti-anti-clockwise
 
Avuncular: of or pertaining to a friendly uncle.

As in 'though I loved my new boyfriend's hair and physique, his avuncularity meant I was never able to become sexually aroused around him.' And I always thought pylon was a very pretty word.
 
you guys are all dumbasses. The coolest word is also the longest word:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

-a disease that infects the lungs that is caused by inhaling microscopic bits of silicon from volcano ash
 
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is better by a longshot

All of this worry about expanding, and you're still playing with pylons? :wink:
 
Did I vote on this? I'd say "Silly" right now.

Don't be silly. I feel such a grownup saying that *g*
 
I've always liked "Anacrusis."

Iliked it even more when I realized that that is what I find most engaging about Dave Gilmour's lead guitar work.
 
I never liked long words. Rohypnol and chutzpah are good words.
"Pylon is a word that has great chutzpah, but nobody noticed cos they were all spiked with Rohypnol." Yum. Homeowner is good too cos it's like a schoolyard way of calling someone a homo.

officially my word is the longest one. yours is loger but it is scientific. scientists say that in order to write our DNA it should be in one word and it would have thousands and thousands of letters.
 
for the time being, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis wins :approve:

And yet despite all of those letters, the simple but effective 'fart' seems far more popular in everyday conversation.
 
fart, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, fart, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, I just can't decide! :confused:

At least, no one's likely to say ' Who pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosised in here?!' :rolleyes:
 
now I have to say that tomorrow. :rolleyes:

how do you submit a word into webster's dictionary? :rolleyes:

Anonymously. That way you look brilliant, because you're quoted all the time.
 
Reintarnation

I have a new word in contention for the title... It is "Reintarnation", the definition of which is: "To come back to life as a Hillbilly"
:-p
 
holy ****! I-Love-God! I can tell already that you're going to be very popular here. This is evidenced both by your moniker and by your habit of reintarnating old threads!

:smile::smile::smile:

Does anyone like self-defecating humor?

Is that something that makes you laugh so hard you **** yourself?
 
okay, the coolest word ever HAS to be: Punchinello!

Punchinello means a fat humpbacked clown! =D seriously! google that ****!
 
alabandical

His behaviour after the party was positively alabandical.
