Sesquipedalianism is anathema.

Hard to match this:

But for fun:

The perusal of the text version of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch of James J. Kilpatrick vs William Safire, aka "The Thrilla in Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu," following that of the Frost vs Dick Cavett donnybrook (sleepfest) was an exercise in floccinaucinihilipilification. Anyone still have that issue of Esquire where Gore Vidal got punched by Norman Mailer in what the former called the "night of the tiny fists?"

Cough cough--I've a bad case of the pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, so pardon me, I have to go watch Speilberg's new movie based on this: http://luminaryuprise.wikidot.com/longest-word Oh, I'm sorry, thats Tintin.

I do hope that these few words of mine--to quote Dante'--is 'sovramagnificentissimamente.'

The initiating concept for this amalgamation of logorrhea is an improvised explosive device.

I never want to have an esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
