Sorry.

[quote=qprogeny79]honorificabilitudinitatibus -- honorableness. (NB -- this is the longest word used by shakespeare -- it's in love's labour's lost, act v, scene i, spoken by prospero. interestingly, it's an anagram of the latin phrase hi ludi f. baconis nati tuiti orbi, which means "these plays, f. bacon's offspring, are preserved for the world." of course, this is widely cited as evidence that francis bacon wrote shakespeare's plays.)

Unfortunately I have to finally be the one to call you up on the fact that Prospero isn't in Love's Labours Lost, he is, of course, in The Tempest.

Can't be arsed to see if the word's still in there though, my memory doesn't serve quite so well as yours for long-word recall.

bah, you're right. it's costard. the quote is "O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words. I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word; for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus; thou art easier swallow'd than a flap-dragon."

my bad.

Australian aboriginal slang:

Chay- Kinda like shit, used in a reactionary manner. Depending on what tone you use it, it can be a reaction to anything.

Gammon- When someone is "gammon" or a "gammon bra" it means they are lying, joking, lame or goofy.

It is a word, too. A noun, nonetheless. Seeing as Mr Brian Sewell won't allow me to include nouns

, here's another one:

hubris.

Falafel - Reminds me of a moustachioed terrier laughing; I laugh in return.

Molybdenum - The best-named element in the periodic table.

Frugal - The kind of word I'd yell if I fell of a tall building.

Personified - This hideous girl who is fat in my English set uses it too much, so I describe many things as personified when they're obviously not because she's such a laughing stock.

Actually, nearly all of those words are impossible to use in general conversation.

You can use ennui no problem. If you mean without people going "eh?, what..stop using big words you massive fanny" then no, your probably right.

For the record, I like ennui and hagiography a whole load.
