I'm pretty sure fillibuster is spelt filibuster, though I could see both of them being accepted.

Plethora is a personal favourite of mine, as is barren.

Now there's a coincidence lol - 'cos when I typed my post I actually thought to myself, "Hmm, this sounds a lil' pedantic :roll:

". (No really, I did :oops:

"Cellar door" wasn't voted, it was suggested by Tolkien. I think it's a bit rubbish personally, even if they did bring it up in Donnie Darko.

I like borborygmy, because it's a medical term (for your stomach rumbling) but it's also onomatopoeic.

I also like the word "verbose", because it is the opposite of it's meaning.

Yes it is. You spelled it incorrectly, I think. :oops:

Antidisestablishmentarianism is such a "ooh I'm in 4th grade and know a big word" word. Weaksauce.

Btw, floccinaucinihilipilification is longer by one letter.

Edit: Apparently floccinaucinihilipilificatiousness could also be considered to be a real word.

2nd edit: Just found this gem:

I don't think scientific words should count as you can just invent them by piling on any latin or greek root that has anything to do with the subject...

ie. hydropneumoastrogeothermodynamology - the study of water and air on the rock material of stars and the resulting changes in heat and movement... :roll:

Also, the true names of molecules are only limited by the ability to create them, again it's just a matter of running it all together.

I don't think that one counts because it is a fictitious word. :wink:

I've always liked the word "Mope." Never knew why. Just fun to say.
