Also known as, Cause it’s not Wednesday, and it’s a word.
So what do you do when it’s Friday night. People are out having fun, relaxing or cuddling up by a fire and your here… Reading my words? All alone… Staring into the abyss that is the Internet… all alone.
[ I bet Superman didn't worry about his Friday nights ].
And of course how many of us reached our boredom levels and started to have obscure thoughts? Like, “How do I estimate the Airspeed Velocity of the unladen swallow?” Well a quick search and Tada!
[ How depressing... I read the whole article... ]
So in Uber-contrast to Wordless Wednesday, and this being my blog [ Yay me! ]. I present to you:
Long Winded Word Friday!!!!
Today’s word is: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Well, I’m sure the first question that comes to people’s minds is, “Travis, what the…” but… after that thought subsides, you become intrigued, and you ask, “Travis, man… what the!”
To which I answer, “Yes?”
So Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (pronounced GNU-mooo-no-microscopic-silico-volcano-oasis) is a highly contagious lung disease spread by consumption of either rabid jack-a-lope’s milk or the attempt of pronouncing such a word, as it in its self, may cause this disease to become more self-aware [ Who want's a self aware desease... eek! ] . It is also known by many simply as “I’ve got the black lung, pop”
Some symptoms of this desease if you are still paying attention:
- Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisness of breath
- Saying Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
- Being able to spell Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
- Halitosis (as in Supercalifragilistic-exp-a-HALITOSIS)
- Sense of impending doom
- Cold sweats
- Hot sweats
- Warm sweats
- Irrational fear of woodchucks
- A sense of Antidisestablishmentarianism [ Woah I think I've got that! ]
- Death [ Eep! ]
- Falling asleep less at night [ Like tonight... Eek! ]
- Suffering from the urge of making up extremely long words that do not make sense.
- Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
- Prolonged duration of dry mouth
This disease has a 100% self-diagnoses rate.
I don’t think I feel so well… I’m starting to get dry mouth, and I swore I heard a woodchuck. And! Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism?! That doesn’t sound good at all. I think it has pains similar to hunger pains.. but pseudo-like! [Eek!]
Thank goodness you told me how to pronounce it. Our short term memory can only hold about 7 items before overfilling and spilling something onto the floor. In this case, syllables.
Being a hypochondriac, I appreciate a new disease to worry about. Must go google that. Oh snap – a jackelope just charged me and its mouth is foaming a bit. Gotta run.
Keenie Beanie´s last blog ..We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming…
Yes! and this the worst of them all… it’s long and the symptoms are a good sign that you’ve come down with it.
You have my sympathy.
Awe Travis. Travis, Travis, Travis.
