Words you ♥, words you made up, names you’re curious about–step right up and verbalize. Just don’t reveal too much about your own names.
Continued from the original thread by special request of Elassë~Adael, who says:
“we should have another words thread. And what do people think of the name Autumn?”
FINALY FIRST POST i think YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways, my name is from a drawing i drew. it’s a wingless dragon w/ a poisinous stinger.
YAY THIRD POST! One word I lurrrrvvvvvv to say is squabble.
1,2,3-I don’t know if Fridgey would agree with me here (we’ll wait until he shows up) but I think that those were random and pointless posts.
Autumn is a stupid name. It’s almost as bad as Nevaeh (Heaven spelt backwards). Mine is Johanna Juliette Eyleen Ethyl. Kind of stupid, I know. My father is Johann Karlheinz Alexander, his father is Johann Eduard, and his father was Johann. It’s a family thing. What happens when people with hyphenated surnames give surnames for their kids? And what are the silliest names you’ve heard? Rollo Dillingworth is my favorite. Nice man, too.
Words…words are fun. Mr. Coontz’s favorite word is serendipity. Mine is probably either ecclesiastical, because it’s so cool, or maybe qwerty, because it’s so fun to type. Also in that last category is the word ‘stewardesses.’ All left hand. So awkward. It’s the longest word that can be typed solely with the left hand on the qwerty (haha!) keyboard.
I think my name means grandmother, and my middle name means wise, so i guess I’m a wise grandmother. Odd thing to name a baby, but i don’t think my parents knew what it meant.
my least favorite words are:
acquaint
contagious
shoal
coral
pedastal
regatta
pridian
satire
catenate
gluttony
my favorite words are mostly things that sound funny, like:
thwack
hemidemisemiquaver
inglenook
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
ululate
Juliette (4),
Today my favorite word is “coral”–which Emma, for some reason, doesn’t like.
I invented a game where one person makes up a word and the other person makes up the definition. The results are below.
Ziptl- a portable teleportation device
Esmoroph- a green, Jello-like chemical that can take on different shapes when electrical currents are applied to it
Xelornic- a feeling of satisfaction and accomplisment
Dieach- to spin around when dodging something
Nomptorean- a room with soundproof walls where college students go to let off steam. Full of punching bags.
Demusokkel- a giant tuning fork that sends out an ultrasonic wave which livens up parties
Tebuggle- a Tasmanian water imp that causes mischief by changing the course of rivers
And more. You get the idea. Maybe we should have a thread for this.
6-how contrary. My reason for hating coral, as well as the other 9 words i listed as my least favorites, is that i misspelled it once in a spelling bee.
4-Why do you have so many names? And I’m assuming that’s not your whole name, or the GAPA’s would’ve snipped it…I think.
4- No it’s not. I don’t think it is. It’s a word I love to say. My name is Sarah Elizabeth L. I absolutely hate my middle name.
I like your middle name. It’s ancient and shows up in one form or another in most European languages. Powerful women in many countries have borne it. It’s also extremely versatile, with more variants and nicknames than any other name I know. And it’s the name of my four-year-old niece, whom I’m going to see tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner.
My name? Why do you ask? *ignores question*
I like the name Elizabeth because it can be shortened into so many things deppending on personality and preference- Elizabeth, Eliza, Liz, Lizzy, Beth, Lily, Lee(more with ‘Lily’), and, of course, ebeth!
7- that reminds me of Dougless Adams and someone-else-whose-name-I-don’t-recal’s shortish book, The meaning of Liff
Allegra Madalyn R. That’s my full name. My last name means “red town”. My first name means “lively” and my middle name is after my cousin who died. I love the word “confuzzled” and “discombobulated”. Also I like “pickles”. My brother has a kewl name, Theo. It means God.
I made up the word “sarcasmic”. It just basically means sarcastic. Speaking of words (that was a horrible pun), I introduced my dad to the word “cathassus” today at dinner.
i need not specify the many quirks of the american language. besides, there are too many.
5- i like the word satire. why hate it?
4- why hate your middle name? my parents almost named me elizabeth. they named me virginia instead.
my least favourite words:
-anything that falls under IM speak
-whatever
-fetch
-skank
-perfect
my favourite words:
-anything from final fantasy! (
(adding to previous comment, which for some reason got chopped off)
-groovy
-funky
-rain
-chemical
-macabre
-gerard
-alice
-slipknot
groovy babe. me love words. and you all wondered why i liked posting so much. shame on you.
slithery slimy
TOBOGGAN!!
Pulchritudinous. Intelligent hippies pwn.
Ebeth is a name i &heart;. Obviously, since that’s what i go by.
I like the name Autumn, mostly by association. One of my friends in GR is named Autumn. I think she helped invent the google game too…
Queenie j, i love your names. XD
Fav name? Englebert Humperdink.
I have an online friend named Rolando. People call him Rolly. Poor guy. but he’s kewl. He plays trumpet.
Discombobulated is an amazing word.
As is defenestrated, goop, spiffy, fantabalistic, flamablamablous (of course), anything ending in “ios” (such as kewlios, ksios, rightios, moosios…meaning anything i add on to the front of it. XD) of course we have pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and then…antebellum, serendipity, onomatopoeia…i have a lot of favorite words…anyway.
I like saying “sonata”. Also “symphony”. And “Lucifer” rolls of the tongue beautifully too. My name is Elias Asher E——-, Elias after Elijah the Prophet, a kickass dude who rode around in a flaming chariot and did cool things. He was very metal. My great grandfather’s name was Asher, so it became my middle name. And E——- is just an insanely common swiss german name. Shows you immediately where I’m from.
PoPoPo intervention!
Subject: Posts #1, 2, 3.
Too much pointlessness clogging up the blog. Thou hast been warned. Repeat this act of infedelity and you will summon the wrath of the mighty Nyarlathotep.
Englebert Humperdink. Yes. My bro calls him Inklebert Runningfreak. No idea why.
My favorite words include: quintessential, epitome, enigma, ubiquitous, utopia (almost anything with a qu in it, especially if it’s in the middle of the word, like lacquer or requiem) I dislike my middle name so much that I don’t tell anyone it. Everyone who asks gets the same clues: It’s seven letters long, it’s first two letters are “s” and “h”, and it’s not Shannon. If you guess, I’ll tell you if you’re right or wrong.
Sharinn? (ok, yes, i randomly added an n to make it seven letters. Deal)
20- The what? Also, this IS a thread for our least and most favorite words.
11- Really? Last year everyone called me some form of the name Elizabeth. I think that contributed to my hating of it.
My name is Olivia Katherine ———. My first name was a character in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. I read that Shakespeare may have made it up for the play, but I think it was just the female form of Oliver. My middle name was from my great-grandmother. Except her name was the German form, Katerina. I look pretty German. Which is amusing because my last name is very Italian. Then again, I suppose I could look like I’m from the northern regions of Italy. Only, my father’s ancestors were from the south. He and my sister are usually very tan. My mother is moderately tan. I match the pages in old books.
Words I love:
defenestration
gauntlets
garden gnome [okay, I just like the gnomes for whatever reason…they’re so funny]
erstwhile
polymer
lambda
plain [but only the flatlands kind, not the boring plain]
looney [it’s so fun to say over and over again]
pink
enchiridion
zeppelin
anachronism
mastaba
Solomon [as in the Islands]
metatarsal
vesper
zygomatic
perish
glockenspiel
Words I hate hearing:
anecdote
carcinogenic
tough
fluff
silly
midget
yacht
charade
diet
20- Ooo the Outer Gods [and Elder Gods] have really cool names, don’t they?
And any name from Egyptian mythology is cool.
My name is very common, unfortunatly. I was almost named Mokie, after some baseball player because it sounds good with my last name(which I belive only ebeth knows here).
My mom almost named me Lestot(sp? help me all you Ann Rice fans) after a vampire. Mwahaha. Fitting, isn’t it?
my name is an Elvish word!!!!!!!
26 — Lestat.
my favorite word is pudding.
you can say it in a funny way
stupid reason for a favorite word, but oh well.
23- No.
This thread reminds me of a phrase my friend once told me. It has a long and complex history associated with it, but I can’t type and you don’t care. Anyway, I give credit to Mark for this.
Your vocabulary is too copious for the dimensions of my understanding. Would you please elucidate with a little more simplicity?
It’s most effective when you say it really fast after a word that’s not too hard.
I am in love with the word moose.
moooooooooooooooooooooose
moooooooooooooooooooose
mooooooooooooooooooose
moooooooooooooo-
Ok, Kiki, you are getting pretty close to being a pointless poster here.
22- Shanley, Shelley, Shirley?
My name means beautiful or pleasant god’s lion. very strange. I’d like my middle name better without the god part tho. But without the god in it my middle name would be Arya which isn’t so pleasant, so yeah my middle name is Ariel.
I dare you all to guess my first name. It starts with an N has 5 letters and come from hebrew and chinese orgin.
Some words I like:
physcobabble (sp?)
coincidence
googolplex
intermediatly
I don’t what this list shows other than the fact that I cant spell.
Ripsnorter. I like that word.
[something/one noted for great strength, intensity, or excellence]
Ripsnorter.
I lurv to say the word ‘witch’ in Spanish. ES E BROOHAH! Or, in English: It’s a witch!
My first name is Emma (as ou probaly all guessed already) and my middle name is Sophia. I like them both. My last name (which I won’t say) is pretty common and boring. My initias are ESM, which I dont particularly like.
yesterday I decided to go through the whole alphabet and see if I know people with names that start with every letter and I thought of people for every letter except Q, U, and X. Do any MBers have firs names that start with any of those letters?
I got a new computer a few das ago and, since it’s an Apple, I decided to name it aftre some type of apple. All the common ones I could think of were too boring (granny smith, red delicious, gala, …) so i decided to look for a list on the internet ad choose the weirdest, obscurest apple name I could find for the name of my computer. The winner was Spur Winter Banana. I cal it SWB for short.
33- It’s spelled, “bruja.”
And “It’s a witch” = “Es una bruja”
Spanish is fun. I still like the verb, “to go” in the present tense.
ir
voy
vas
va
vamos
váis
van
My favourite Latin word is “Nolite!” which is actually a plural command meaning, “Do not wish to ___!”
35- I know. I hate using correct grammer and speelling. Actually, I do know how to spell the words grammar and spelling. See?
My dad has a book of useful unused words. Like “callipygian”. It means nice butt.
I luv discombobulated. And conjugate. which is funny because I like congugating stuff. Except reflexive verbs in spanish because i don’t understand it that well. I also like chuck, especially when Brits say it. i.e, “I’ll chuck you out the window!”
38-well what’s the point in that when you can just say “I’ll defenestrate you!” I love the word defenestrate.
A couple of English surnames for you. Anyone who possesses one of these is likely to be a member of the upper classes.
Cholmondleley – pronounced “Chumley”.
Featherstonehowe – pronounced “Fanshaw”.
The English nobility are very strange.
I found a list of phobias. Here are some of the most interesting ones:
Chrematophobia- fear of money
Consecotaleophobia- fear of chopsticks
Didaskaleinophobia- fear of going to school
Ephebiphobia- fear of teenagers
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- fear of the number 666
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- fear of long words
Novercaphobia- fear of your step-mother
Papaphobia- fear of the pope
Pteronophobia- fear of being tickled by feathers
Xanthophobia- fear of yellow
Zemmiphobia- fear of the Great Mole Rat
sorry if I bored anyone to tears or death with this.
40-
Raymond Luxury-Yacht is pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove
Sorry, had to do it.
Hmph. All my friends were translating their names, and they got cool ones which mean things like “thorny flower of noble birth” etc. Mine SOUNDS pretty, but if you translate it out of spanish, french, and hungarian, it means ” Downy Haired Cheese Judge” Ugh. Though the downy haired part is almost psychic of my parents.
My favorite word of the day:
Lethologica- when you can’t remember what word you want to use.
6-You did say it was serendipity at one point. Right, Mister Herr Monsieur Gospodin Coontz-sensei?
34-Not “Percy Pip-Butt Perker’s Supreme Ambrosia Fruit”? Developed in Nova Scotia in the 1930s and patented as something else? It fell out of favor when the only farm that actually grew the things (yes, you guessed it, Percy Pip Butt Perker’s) closed due to the fact that Mr. Perker had died in a tragic incident involving–you couldn’t make it up, mate–a rutabaga.
40-How very Wodehousian. (Coined by Evelyn Waugh.) Gerald Durrell named his chimpanzee St. Cholmondleley.
My brother had quintuplets. Yes, five. One girl and four boys. They are called Zoya, Zhenya, Zebulon, Zxanon, and Zosmium. Z-5, in other words. (As opposed to G-7?)
Shoeburyness: the feeling of sitting in a seat and feeling the lingering warmth of another’s posterior still on it. Coined by Adams and that other bloke who wrote The Meaning of Liff
39 — we had this whole big thing about the word “defenestrate” in english and history. my history teacher got us obsessed with it because he kept going on about the Defenestration of Prague which started the 30 Yrs. War with the Hapsburgs landing in horse manure . . . yay? so for some reason my history teacher hates the word “defenestrate” with a passion unrivalled by any on this blog, i mean seriously, he threatened anyone who said it with detention, which was sort of irritating because we were all obsessed with it so we kept wanting to say it over and over. noooooot fuuuuuun . . . but i forgive my english teacher because he rox my world and because he gave my friends and me an A on our skit that we made such a farce out of. NOT. MY. FAULT. ok we’re not going to get into that again.
you know what word i love? Xenocide!!!!!!! made up, as far as i can tell, by orson scott card, comprised of the greek elements “xeno” — species, or something like that, and “cide” — killing, i.e. the elimination of a species.
my fav words are
-dive
-abyss
-conquer
-complete
-ice
-create
-be
Lugubrious
Acquiesce
Spooney

Metalocalypse
I love the word “lugubrious”, too.
mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose
moooooooooose
Yay for meese.
50- What the heck is the plural of moose? Mooses. Moose. Meese. Meeses. I also can’t figure out the plural of goose. Goose. Gooses. Geese. Geeses. Ahh! Brain overload!
51- It’s “moose”, but “meese” sounds fr00dier.
31- The third guess.
I have now memorized pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis! Working on fear of large words. Hippo-something. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

4 – Post 1 was, the rest weren’t.
Typewriter is the longest word that you can type only on the line with [tab]qwertyuiop\ on it.
I know someone who is genuinely afraid of the words beverage and shrub. She almost can’t say them. Well, she just hates them. It’s not that she’s afraid of them, but she’s sort of afraid to say them.
51 – Moose and geese. It’s annoying, isn’t it? Like mice, lice, and houses.
I love the name Autumn. My old teacher is named Autumn. I like Dawn, too, for some reason. And Peter. Peter is the most awesomest name ever. According to babynamesworld, it means stone in French. Who knew?
THP (59),
Actually, Peter means stone in GREEK: petros. The English name and its cognates (Spanish Pedro, French Pierre, Russian Pyotr, etc.) are all descended from the Greek name. So are words like petrify, petroleum, and petrology (the study of rocks).
Here are words that really annoy me when you say them:
crux
gramatically correct(use them together)
appealing
exactly
chince
30- no she’s not. Her posts have content. Also post two isn’t pointless. It talks about a name, which is the subject of the thread.
My name is Sarah but I go by Sally which confuses many people even though Sally is a nickname for Sarah.
31- Naomi, a pretty name however I think it’s japanese.
33- That’s not Spanish. Es una bruja is Spanish for she’s (also its) a witch.
Naomi is also a Hebrew name. In the Old Testament book of Ruth, it’s the name of Ruth’s mother-in-law, who later renames herself Mara (Hebrew for “bitter”).
64- she did mention that it was of Hebrew origin but she also said that it was of chinese origin. I said Japanese because I thought that it wasn’t chinese, it was japanese but I also know that it’s hebrew. It remains a pretty name.
25 – No, Oliver turns into Olive. In my opinion. But I have to go to bed now…:(
I hate the word “morgue”. Dunno why.
25–I know someone named Olivia Katherine. Surely not…?
Words ameliorate my world! I have a book of sniglets and I pray to it daily. *skibbles upstairs to get it*
Ach, I cannae find the wee scunner! No matter. I’ve nearly got it memorized anyhow.
Memosphere–the part of the sky that one stares into when reminiscing.
Pencicopter–a classroom device fashioned from a pencil and ruler during periods of extreme boredom.
Zippijig–the dance a person performs when a rubber band is pointed at them.
Circumvaculate–to vacuum in a circle around oneself.
Sloovers–those leftover pieces of soap that are too big to throw away, but too small to use.
Franquilized–the happy feeling you get when you have exactly the same number of hot dogs as buns
Asterexasper–an asterisk without a corresponding footnote.
Peamorpho–when the peanut butter oozes out through the holes in the cracker (like a Ritz cracker)
Elemeno–the middle letter of the alphabet.
And my personal favorite…
Aspirbayerperpairperfection–the ability to shake exactly two headache tablets out of the bottle.
Other words I like are skibble, snibble, imagination, shadow, googolplex, and quintessence. Hence my name.
This reminds me of something.
Once in math class (last year in eighth grade) we all had to go around and say our favorite numbers. I said googol was my favorite number. Blank stares ensued.
“G-O-O-G-O-L,” I explained.
“Isn’t it G-O-O-G-L-E?” someone said.
“You know, googol. A one with a hundred zeroes after it.” Still, no one knew what I was talking about. Very exasperating. Soon we moved on to the next person, who said her favorite number was seven. The worst part is that at least a third of the class had seven as their favorite number.
68- Seriously? You don’t live in PA, do you? I’m short and have short dark blonde hair… Weird.
Lovely words:
calypso
Jacques
dweeb
Carlisle
top
ponder
carp
reckon
Icky words:
freckles
arch
pad [especially when in reference to an apartment; use for dance pads isn’t quite as bothersome]
community
card
68- a googol is, exactly as you said, a one with a hundred zeros after it. a googolplex is a one with a googol zeros after it. See? Musers know what you’re talking about…
My favorite first names:
Mehmetcik
Pravatchai
Nevaeh (Heaven backwards)
Alasdair
Words:
Opulent (Ops, Saturn’s wife, goddess of plenty)
Inconsquential
Chronosynclastic Infundibulum!!!
68- My favorite number is seven. But if it’s so common, I’m changing my favorite number to pi. Or maybe radical 2.
Today in gym we were arguing about the spelling of lozenge for some strange reason. One of my friends and I thought it was spelled the way I spelled it. My other friend thought it was spelled “lasenge”. She checked in her French class I think and we were right, but I don’t take French and wasn’t there. Almost all my friends treat me like I know everything. Maybe it’s because I do.
No, but I’m trying hard.
Does anyone know of a name that means bittersweet?

To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. =
In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
Some of these really get you thinking.
74- Florence Nightengale = Nigel, Fetch An Iron Leg
Spiffy anagrams. Especially the Hamlet one!
Anyone have any cool nicknames? Mine have all been boooooring. But you can’t very well choose your own nickname…*sigh* Excluding my last name, they have been:
Liv [for like, my whole life]
Livy [also my whole life]
Pocahontas [for about two years. Don’t ask]
Emolivia [thankfully, only for about half of last school year]
Biscuit [all last school year. and still on occasion.]
Spencer/Spence [by my one friend. all the time]
Evil [for three years straight. and many people still call me that, I just don’t see them very often]
and, finally:
Libby or Libby-chan [for about 1.5 years. started from my manga-obsessed friend, and caught on]
Nothing cool. Gosh, even my sister has a cool nickname. V. It’s one letter. That pwns.
74- AAAHA!! There’s an anagram site out there somewhere…
76- I have some nicknames. They are kind of boring, too.
Fifi(4th grade)

A friend and I were talking about letters when I said something about who would want to turn down taking an AP class and he said maybe they dislike the letters A and P and flee from them, and we were talking about letters we like. I like q. He doesn’t. Who’s right? Who here also likes q? Who here also doesn’t? Pies to all who don’t.
Thrown pies, that is. And politely handed pies to those who do. And really, who in their right mind would leave school early instead of taking an AP class?
93-haha, i love how it’s a palindrome itself…
95-it is absolutely impossible to take an AP class in your right mind. Because nobody in their right minds would take it. Unfortunately, i’ve never been in my right mind. *desperately crams*
Bill and i totally have a study group that i’m thinking of naming the “Whee Shiny AP History Group” because we get distracted so often. But we get it all done. Eventually.
I went over to her house for it today. Her house is pretty sveet. And why do all my friends have a separate little private staircase up to their rooms? I don’t, and it makes me sad because i would totally hang out on the staircase half the time. The stairs going downstairs are too wide and lb has a room up here too. And my room’s really big and open. I do have a nice cornery-type thing though jutting out. Idk, i like big spaces but i like little spaces sometimes too. And this all has absolutely nothing to do with Words and Names. But hey, it’s 12:15. and i’m clearing out my backpack. Why do i always do this late at night? Seriously, it’s freaky. Every semester or so i have to clean my backpack out because it’s an absolute black hole, and i always randomly decide to do it in the middle of the night. Mebbe the middle of the night’s the only time i’m crazy enough to take on such a task…

If you read way too much, you’ll get it.
99~No, I don’t get it. What do you mean?
When I was in 3rd grade we had to write in our journal every day. I personally made up words, which I called Made Up Words of the Day. I’ll see if I can find my journal to share a few. ^^
you know the group MADD? I think i read somewhere that there was an anti-organization called Drivers against MADD mothers.
Figure out the acronym yourself.
I’ve been thinking about words that turn an adjective into a verb by adding “-en.” It’s such a handy construction, but the rules for using it aren’t obvious or necessarily consistent.
For example, it applies to shades (light+en, bright+en, dark+en) and some colors (red+den, whit+en, black+en) but not others (green+en? nope).
It seems to work only for one-syllable words that end in consonants. They also seem to be old, basic words–“granite words” is how I like to think of them, the bedrock of the language. They can be either transitive or intransitive–that is, you can redden something (turn it red), or you can just redden (turn red yourself).
Let’s see what else they do. Deep+en, steep+en, tight+en, fast+en (from the old sense of “fast,” which also meant “tight”), quick+en (which also used to mean “come alive” or “bring to life,” from an older meaning of the word “quick”), hard+en, soft+en. Loud+en? I guess so. Sharp+en. Weak+en.
Hm, that’s interesting. A few nouns have crept in there, too. The opposite of weaken is not “strongen” but strength+en. Also length+en, height+en. What are those up to? Maybe they came along later.
Could “listen” have started out as an adjective? I wonder…
100- H2G2 is 6×9=42. 1984 is 2+2=5.
(102) Also, things may worsen but they don’t “betteren.” In Old English, however, one may “gooden” (gódian) as well as “badden” (yfelian).
Turns out OE things did indeed “greenen” (grénian) or even “yellowen” (geolwian).
Possibly lengthen and heighten are holdovers, since constructions tend to become more regular over time.
103- I have a program on my calculator that makes it say that 2+2=5. I should do one for 6×9.
thou shalt not point thy toes in direction to the east of Denmark or you shalt be decapitated, have thy body mutilated, thy head stuck onto a poll, and fed the ravens! Mwahaha!
106- Blargu?
What is Blargu? I’m confused. :confused:
There isn’t a confused smilie?
Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle!!!!!!!!!
(102) More forays into Englisc . . . concerning “listen”: I didn’t find an adjective, but the Old English verb “hlystan” does have a noun form — “hlyst” — that refers to the sense of hearing.
Both forms appear to incorporate meanings we have since separated into listening and hearing. “Hlystan” can also mean to obey. To listen is to obey? I guess people often wish that were the case.
I LOVE the word, “recapitulation,” so I always use it in my poems. I think my poetry teacher is getting really annoyed by it, though, because she keeps crossing it out
Words I like:

My favorite word is florkaglorkadiculous. It’s the sound you make when you discover that yes, you can actually get brain freeze from Jell-o.
And yes, I made that word up.
In about second grade, I wanted to impress my younger siblings by spelling the longest word I could find, so I found it and it happened to be antidisestablishmentarianism. I think that it means something like this: the state of being against the disestablishment of something. I’ve never come across a conversation in which this word can actually be used, but it still sounds cool (if you can pronounce it without choking on your own tounge) Mwahaha!
