RIght...this is to test your vocabulary.
Whoever can think of longest word wins. Simply enough.
I will be starting first.
Up ;D (This is easy to overtake)
Additional rules for this round.(10/9)
1. The word must be in english. Otherwise it may be
unfair to others.
2. No medical/science terms.
3. No names of places.
;D THANKYOU for taking NOTICE ;D

Crumbs. I know there's a really long German word... I'll have to ask my teacher about it...

Yeah, well, I'm joking, obviously. I think I may have spelled it wrong. (It's only 35 letters anyway.)

Yeah, well, I'm joking, obviously. I think I may have spelled it wrong. (It's only 35 letters anyway.) Long words are one of the specialties of our language. You can basically stick together any number of nouns to make up a new word instead of using a string of adjectives or a whole sentence to describe something ;D No foreign language? No scientific terms? That's double unfair to members like me... ;D.*Thinks of long English words she knows....* |
