Let's learn new words.

[Xaven]

Xaven decided to use Google's word of the day for Jan 28, people.

Actually, I get mine from Dictionary.com.

Paraskavedekatriaphobia - the phobia of Friday the 13th.

I can only take time to remember 'Triskaidekaphobia' - Abnormal fear of the number 13.

[Jejunum Jake]

Sesquipedalophobia -- fear of long words





The cruelest of afflictions, perhaps next to "lisp."

[Jess]

I can only take time to remember 'Triskaidekaphobia' - Abnormal fear of the number 13.

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia of the number thirteen.

[Lychon]

Ontology- Branch of metaphysics associated with the nature of existence.

[eestlinc]

<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=catachresis">Catachresis</a>.

<a href=http://www.last.fm/music/Autechre/_/Lentic+Catachresis>good song</a>

[Kirobaito]

Soporific

Tending to cause drowsiness or sleep.

I was going to use this word until I saw that someone else already had. This is odd.

trongg / trông /,noun:

- A stick that comes in a set of three.

OK, so this is a made-up word between my friends and I.

[Jejunum Jake]

Floccinaucinihilipilification -- the act of deeming or describing something as worthless or by making something worthless by said means.




It also happens to be the longest word in the English language, soundly trouncing that pussy antidisestablishmentarianism.

Sorry to go off-topic here, but Lychon, shouldn't your sig be mentioning FFVII?
