Well I guess that �s how big (hippomonstros) your fear (phobia) is when you first read this word!!!

The word kind of scares me ;) but since I am sooooo happy to see the word of the day back on the forum I will give it a try anyway..
The fear (phobia) that someone is going to make a witty remark (to quip) about how your behind reminds them of a exceptionally large African mammal (hippopotomonstrosis) while you are riding your bike ( pedal) to work for the first time in spring after gaining some weight over the winter months... |

Hi, guys!!! Thanks for participating!!!! hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia Part of speech: noun Meaning: feaar of long words! Another difficult decision, choosing the winner!!! But, I �ll have to go along with Marion �s daffynition this time, because I was also crossing my fingers, fearing someone was going to make a witty remark about the resurrection of WOD!! So, I also had my phobia. Then I pictured in my mind what she describes about riding the bike to work, and their behind being compared to a hippo! Your turn MARION!!!! Congrats!!! |
