Or it has something to do with the fact that its too hot to sleep, I'm awake during the day, on night shift and really should be asleep, but I just don't get it :blink:

Hmmm, I don't get it, maybe because I don't know Hitcher yet. I should probably try to meet him on a ride somewhere so that I can understand this humorous joke.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" Based on the performance by Mary Poppins Soundtrack
"Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" Parody by Sweet Indigo

I thought I'd never do this song, but then I had the idea and had to write it before you could say flaucinoccinihilipilification. 'Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' was invented by some smart geezer as a word to mean 'fear of long words'. In verse 1, 'vocabulary' must be pronounced with a Gilbert and Sullivan-esque emphasis on the 'lary' so that it rhymes with 'hairy'. Also, pronounce phobia 'phobe-ya'. And remember, never use a long word where a diminutive one will do!

<CENTER>Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
Means that my verbosity might cause you melancholia
I'll attempt to keep to brevity that might console ya
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

(Speak an affirmative, if you say aye
speak an affirmative, if you say aye)

My tendency to vacillate when I was but a lad
Made my patriarch pontificate that I was bad
His punitative measures were so physically cruel
For my vocabulary had rebelled against his rule

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
Made my father metamorphose into a great ogre
He paddled on my derriere from May until October
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

(Lost effervescency, made rather shy
lost effervescency, made rather shy)

I flew from Great Britannia and I found Tajikistan
To cogitate and contemplate; accumulate a tan
The peoples there indigenous would listen to me talk
They'd stay there temporarily then have to take a walk

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
I diagnosed afflictions from New Zealand to Mongolia
You say "Salutations" and they just don't want to know ya
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

(Never belligerent, that I deny
never belligerent, that I deny)

So if a feline quadruped has grappled on your tongue
Be not apprehensive when you hear a word so long
Greet with jubilation every lengthy word you hear
For quantitatively rich words are nothing you should fear

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
Even when intoxicated makes one rather sober
Why trust the diminutive when it's so mediocre?
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia! </CENTER>

punctuation? some people must be bored...

It's not as hard as you may think. We could do this using a series of "baby steps" until you get the hang of things.

Let's start by aiming to put a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence and a fullstop at the end. A sentence is a self-contained statement that generally contains at least one verb (a doing word) and which can be read out loud with one breath.

Hitcher....I though a capital at the beginning and a period at the end, was the polite definition of a Presidential/Mistress pregnancy scare....not a sentence....hmm, maybe that's the same thing. :innocent:

There is a point below which the bar should not be allowed to slip. If people are allowed to take liberties with spelling and punctuation, before long they'll be riding around in shorts and jandals. Where will it all end? [Shivers]

What happened to the good ol' days where you would say 'good afternoon, fine weather we have today' and at school, teachers would give you 3 lashings from their cane for dumb insolence. Now it's 'Sup dawg' and students have 'rights' even though they're right arseholes.
