basically all you need to do is to either pick up a dictionary or use an online one and find a word that you think is either not used in everyday vocabulary or you think just needs to be posted. so ill start it of by one of my words that i heard somewhere that i use on a regular basis at the moment:

brobdingnagian (Brob - ding -nag -ain ) huge: unusually great in size or amount or degree or especially extent or scope; "huge government spending"; "huge country estates"; "huge popular demand for higher education"; "a huge wave"; "the Los Angeles aqueduct winds like an immense snake along the base of the mountains"; "immense numbers ...

Re: Word Of The Day

There's a little town in Wales called

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

( This is a genuine name and the translation of the name is ''The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave'' )

There is also a railway station called

Gorsafawddachaidraigodanheddogleddollonpenrhynareurdraethceredigion

( This one was a silly record attempt, the Station was renamed just to win the world record of longest place name from the town above )

Now try pronouncing correctly and slipping those into a conversation today :lol:

Re: Word Of The Day

SA has a town called Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein, well it was once a town, read an article a few months back that said all that's left of Tweebuffels is a post office and two farms, but apparently that's enough to still require road signs to get you there
