ARGH AM INCAPABLE OF DOING ANY WORK WHATSOEVER.

I need help to get enthused about words. What's your current favourite word and why do you like it?

sesquipedalian.
n.
A long word.

adj.
1. Given to the use of long words.
2. Long and ponderous; polysyllabic.

Why do I like it? Come on, it's totally self-referential humor built in to the very language!

So much love.

Be my logoleptic valentine. :)

Do you not prefer "hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian"? Or is that just six syllables TOO far?
