hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia-the fear of long words. It's so redundant because you can't say it if you have it.

Women's orgasm...
Wow, you must just be that bad. I can make women speak languages i've never heard of.
Ahhh touché? (I actually have a comeback but...apparently it's bad taste. Haha)
As far as i know there are no rules against bad taste here on the Escapist. However i haven't reviewed the rules and regulations in a while...

HIPPOPOTO­MONSTRO­SESQUIPED­AL­IAN - Someone who uses long words

ANTI­TRANSUB­STAN­TIA­TION­ALIST - An atheist, basically (Someone who doesn't believe that wine is the blood of Christ)

Although for sheer power, if you can remember this, is the Tobacco Mosaic virus:

I thought he was making a euphimism in relation to your orgasm comment.

"I couldn't have pressed that bright red button faster" ... I mean really...am I the only one seeing that?

That one and I think it was Stutter amuse me.

Because if you stutter you can't say stutter. I think that was the word. It was something like that.

Also Dyslexia is funny because it looks like a jumble of random letters.

She.

And the thought crossed my mind. But it didn't give much thought about it. The report button is red.

Oh dear. I used the wrong gender description. My greatest of apologies.

I fear now that the end is nigh!

I find it odd whenever I call a guy "she" mistakenly online I'm never corrected :p. Even when the occasional mistake happens in person both parties just end up laughing and there is no correction (albeit it is done without words).

My best guess is that at the end of the day most guys realize their genitals won't change if someone mistakes them for a lady.

Just a guess though.

Low Blow :p.

Unless that was really just coincidence.

(The book series I'm working on is called the Isles of Scion)

Course to be fair when I used the word I thought it wasn't a real word. I just made it up cause I thought it sounded nice.
It's also the name of a brand of car.

Toyota Scion.

And no, i didn't know about your book, sorry

It was a good point though. I thought it was a fake word too.

As for the scion cars...god that pisses me off. I just know once I AM published I'll hear "What...like the car?"

Half the names in Gulliver's Travels are or became honest English words, and practically no one uses them. So you got lilliputian, brobdingnagian, yahoo, and laputa.

Yes the end is night and you going to a special hell. A hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theatre. So never use the wrong gender description again...or else.

Damn it took me AGES to use that quote...

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Halfway through the word it sounds like someone closed your jaw and made you bite your tongue.

That's just a string of amino-acids; I don't think that it really counts as a "real word".
