Long Words List

Hero for Hire Posts : 1064 Registration date : 2008-10-06

I like confusing my friends with long, hard-to-understand, hardly-ever-used, words. I just felt like making a list to see what words you guys know. I'll update it daily and probably add some myself if I ever remember any. And yes, I'll give you credit for finding the word :roll:.
Rules:
1. They have to be in ENGLISH
2. They have to be REAL (I'll be checking)
3. They can't be whole sentences, but can be phrases
4. NO MORE WORDS OVER 60 LETTERS LONG (Excluding the one already on the list)

THE LIST:
- eschew obfuscation (to avoid confusion, to make absolutely clear) - Peng Peng 11
- accoutrement (an accessory, or piece or equipment) - Peng Peng 11
- Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (the fear of long words) - Darkraigirl490
- Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (the fear of the number 666) - Darkraigirl490
- (WARNING ONE OF THE LONGEST WORDS EVER)

Spoiler:

(a chemical term for Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Stain) - Ghost of Christmas Future (I'll change it after Christmas)
