I'm not sure about that first word, I might be gettin' to fancy. Long words, have some? " I'll toss out, "Antidisestablishmentarianism." I could hang a pro, or anti on the front, but I'm about out of ink!

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Spud, I am oft quoted as saying I abhor sesquipedalian snobs.

I had a girl friend that told me I was a cunning linguist. Which leads us to the difference between clever pygmies and a female track squad.

Since I took the time to do the search, I figured I would not let srwshooter dissuade me from posting it.

Mostly all the "longest" words are "pseudo" words.
