Hang Out and Post

[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!

[Tyler.]

that is a wonderful thing, Noog, no big words from anyone

[livvy]

Hehehe! The Daily Neopets - doing our best to cater to your needs!

[Noog]

Having that phobia might also hinder your internet usage. Lets see, http://www.thedail OMG I CAN'T DO IT

[Tyler.]

neopoints is a big word, Ian, change the slogan :P

[livvy]

*laughs hysteric... loudly at Link's post*

 

Nope, neopoints is just under the letter cut-off. :P

[Noog]

We need new department names. The Customize thing and that battle help place.

[Tyler.]

those are perfect, we need to make TDN entirely *insert that word here* friendly

[Rising Star]

Oh wow. You guys have funny conversations, which I loled to.

[Noog]

You mean......latin?

 

Gosh tyler you need to be more specific! XD

[Tyler.]

hippo...phobia is the word I was lookin for
