Onomatopeoia. . . I like this one. |

Its all better when you at least write them out with their corresponding meanings, much more educative too. |
| Re: My Book Of Big Words by SisiKill1: 6:23pm On Jan 29, 2010 |
Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech. It is the formation of words imitating the sound of the thing concerned. Eg The BANG of a door, the CLANG of pots, the HISS of a snake, The MEOW of a cat, BUZZ of a Bee. |

Phenomenological Lugubrious Salubrious Helliosiesmology Equivocation Lucubration Modicum Vituperation Phantasmagoria Quantum Epiphenomena Unhusbanded , these are the few i can figure out now. Nigerians and Verbosity; ask the father of Nigerian Verbosity -Pat Obahiagbon and his effusive Pastor friend Chris Okotie; I like it when they do surgery on the 'englishman's language', bearing in mind that they are waffarians(edo-delta pidginated kinda english ) |

Some of the words are not big words, merely long. I hate big words because they're supposed to be for very specific use but prolixity drives people to use them when they really aren't necessary. A word that always manages to surprise me when I use it, as if for the first time, is characteristically. |

Some of these aren't even words but the ones that are are equally puzzling. Recipe? Heresy? Are you serious? |

what exactly is the benchmark for big words? and what is the point putting up words without their meanings?. , .for some of us if we weren't too lazy to check our dictionaries, we wouldn't be up here to begin with |
