Hang Out and Post

I think that the planets must have aligned for there to be three IC members online at the same time :P

[Ruto]

Truly, this is an astrological phenomenon.

 

I used big words.

[Noog]

Oh no! My hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia! Nuuuuuuu the big words x_x

[livvy]

Stop making me feel bad Livvy. I'm already upset that I failed to make 2 records.

D= I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel bad! Forgive me?

 

Before you're an FM you're really excited about getting into the forum. Then once you actually start posting in the FM forum its like, "Okay, now what?" :P "Nowadays" as in we lost some awesome FMs to real life.

Ohh! Thank you. I was baffled.

 

Also, HI MORGAN AND WILL IF YOU'RE STILL HERE!! :woot:

 

EDOT" ... or EDIT: *snerks at Link*

[Unstream]

Oh no! My hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia! Nuuuuuuu the big words x_x

Haha, it reminds me of how a lisp is when people can't make the 's' sound.

Don't you love our language? :P

 

Also, HI MORGAN AND WILL IF YOU'RE STILL HERE!! :woot:

HI LIVVY :D

[Noog]

Livvy you should come over to....THE PLACE :shiftyeyes_anim:

 

CAV is more angry at AA than anyone livvy :P I wouldn't worry about it.

 

EDIT: Snerk? :O Now I'm really confused as to what I did :(

[Unstream]

Livvy you should come over to....THE PLACE

What's this? Do I sense a inter-member conspiracy? :shiftyeyes_anim:

[Ruto]

HI LIVVY. :D

 

There is no conspiracy as long as that is what you believe. :shiftyeyes_anim:

[livvy]

I was simply snickering at the cruelty of the English language.

 

Apparently there's a much shorter word for the fear of long words, but someone came up with hippo....phobia to be ironic (read: cruel to the people with said fear.)

 

EDIT: Nope. No conspiracies I know of. :shiftyeyes_anim:

[Unstream]

Uh-huh, of course there aren't...:shiftyeyes_anim:

 

Agent Will is on the case!

*Mission Impossible theme plays*

[Noog]

I want to be there when a doctor tells a patient that he has it. It must be so traumatizing.

Or this situation:

 

Teacher: Today I will give you your essay topics.

Adam(Boy with hippo): Aww not another assignment.

Teacher: Adam, yours is antidisestablishmentarianism.

Adam: x_x

[livvy]

With Detective Livvy assisting! *pulls brim of detective hat lower over eyes and strikes a pose*

 

EDIT: I feel so bad for Adam. D=

[Tyler.]

I did nothing criminal, nothing at all I'll laugh if those fools believe me

[Ruto]

That poor boy. x_x Teacher should give him an assignment on cats.

[Noog]

If I had that phobia, I would hand my teachers a note on the first day and hope that they weren't mean.

[livvy]

That would be a good idea, Link. Unless you had teachers like the social studies teachers at my school, who all seem to be a bit sadistic.

 

EDIT: You know what I just realized? Spelling bees would be like a haunted house to hippo...phobes.

[Tyler.]

i find it funny how the word used to title the fear of big words is a big word

[livvy]

Exactly, Tyler. That's the whole point. But like I said, there is a shorter word for it. I just don't remember it.

[Noog]

I wonder if they have novels that cater to that and have really small words :P Like a children's book with a better plot.

[livvy]

Hahaha, I want to find one of these books. I wonder what the letter cut-off is before it becomes a big word.

[Noog]

Have you ever heard of the book that has no e's in it? Its a really long novel and the whole thing doesn't have the letter E.

 

I can't imagine writing without it. There's too many words that use it, sounded out or silent.

[Tyler.]

it could be 10

Person 1: They are anonymous

Person 2: oh okay

Person 1: I think it's affordable

Person 2: AHHHHH

[Noog]

Ten is probably a bit creepy, but not scary. I would actually put the cut off at six. The biggest word would be something like police.

[livvy]

Yeah! I researched those a while ago! They're called lipograms. There was a german guy who hated the letter R so much that he wouldn't use it in any of his writing, including his own name.

 

EDIT: But there are so many words that go just above six letters. Like letters. That's seven! I would put the cut-off at something like 9. The longest word would be something.

[Noog]

Someone is going to be crazy enough to read that and write a story with the 9 letter cut off. XD

 

lol. RANDOM IDEA: TDN is now Hippo......phobia friendly!!!! New revamped game guides! and battle help thing!
