    No, seriously: pan-dic-u-la'tion, n [L. pandiculari, to yawn, to stretch.] The act of stretching and yawning.

    Yes! I love big words, bring 'em on; I didn't by this dictionary for nothin'. Now I gotta look up "hu'mic-up-ba-tion". That's just not right. I need some pepto.

    Division of Bombast and Obfuscation...now I love that.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's a real government division.

    My favourite is two words - aurora borealis

    (I've no idea what your two words mean, and I'm too idle to find out)

    (Pip- hyperbolic parabaloid....I taught my four children these two words on a car-trip to Granny's in Gloucester when they were little. We used to pass a church with a hyperbolic parabaloid roof.....one of the kids wrote about it at school (spelled wrongly mind!) and on open day there it was in their book...with a big red line crossed right through it. Even some teachers don't like long words.

    Well done wordsmith Jeff! very funny.

    Conjoined and invented words are wonderful. Jabberwocky is my favourite nonsense poem.

    Confabulation is my favourit largish word. But I can't stop and chat about it now...too much to do. My favourite "long word for a little thing" is "abbreviation".

    HOORAY!

    We have a "contest" at our local tavern to see who comes up with the "biggest' (More than 4 letters) word, and uses it in conversation. We can always tell when there's a Newbie!

    *Yes, I'm adding you to contacts....it just popped in my inbox. (At least some features are working.)
