Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Do you know what that means? It means "fear of long words." The fucked up part is, I'm not kidding. I remember when I told my cousin Cassidi this, she SWORE I was bullshitting. So, I googled it and proved it to her. She now asks me every once in awhile how to say it because she likes hearing me say it; gets such a kick out of it every time. If you don't believe me, the Google search will be ready for you at the end of this blog.
With deciding to do some super fun, random googling today, I came across a word that I swear to God was pulling my legs. I don't think Lincoln would believe me on this one because he didn't even think supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was a real word. THAT means fabulous. :)
Anyways. I found a new word, which I want to learn how to pronounce within a day or two. It's pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. That's 45 letters long!!! It means "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs." Could you imagine going to the Doctor? What do these guys expect us to know? "So, what is it Doctor?" "Well, you have pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" "Oh, okay then." *leaves Dr's room* I don't think so!
