seriously kid you have issues

what do you think our brains are for

"My life sucks so I have to pick arbitrary things to judge strangers on the Internet about to feel better"

even if i had the best life ever, i would still judge others

...in fact, that would be all the more reason to judge others

judging people is awesome

Done.

i like these.
your opinion on the world zephyr?

that's a good word--i don't think we've had any z-words yet

i tend to favor adjectives and verbs over nouns (or at least, the nouns that describe very simple things), so i can have big meaty paragraphs going into detail about it, but the word is neat enough on its own, i suppose--i could throw it in there at some point

Uncircumcised guys have vermicular dicks

That they do.

see i was actually prepared to give you some credit there, but then... nope

I used the word "word" too much in this one. Bleah.

Hey, I just realized that "word" is autological!

All right, just gonna go straight to it today. Got some real doozies this time. Still taking submissions, as always.

---

The following word was submitted by Meta Cognition:
Sesquipedalian - /ses - kwip - eh - DAY - lee - ihn/
Derived from the Latin sesquipedalis, meaning "a foot and a half long".

I honestly wasn't going to accept this submission at first, because I felt like it was too common, but it's just too much fun. It's a word you use to describe other words that are polysyllabic, or words that are very long or take a lot of effort to say or write. It can also be used to describe individuals who use such words. He was intimidating to speak to, because of his unwaveringly austere tone, and his loquacious, sesquipedalian verbiage. It's an eccentric word to describe eccentric people.

Autological - /AW - toh - LAW - jih - kuhl/
[autologic] [autologically]
From the Greek auto meaning "self", and the Greek logos meaning "word" or "reason".

Here's a simple, but useful one. If a word is autological, that means that the word itself represents an example of its definition. For example--the word featured earlier, sesquipedalian, is a rather sesquipedalian word in and of itself, isn't it? It's autological. Another good example is the word "awkward". It's spelled kinda, well, awkwardly. There's a "w", a "k", and then another "w". There's no other English word that's quite like that.

As a bonus word, the opposite of an autological word is a heterological word--or a word that expresses an example of the opposite of its definition. For example: "Big" is a small word, and "infinitesimal" is a big word, even though they both mean "large" and "tiny", respectively.

Can you think of any other autological/heterological words?

Now I really feel like I'm on a children's cartoon...

Vermicular - /ver - MIK - yoo - lur/
From the Latin vermis, meaning "worm".

Here's a good one to use on your enemies. It even starts with a "V", my favorite letter! Anyway, vermicular--definitely something you don't want to be, because it means worm-like. You might have heard the term "vermiform" before? That means to be literally shaped like a worm, but vermicular is something a little bit more personal. When you call someone vermicular, you're essentially diminishing them to the lowly status of a worm.

Do be wary that it is indeed an adjective, however. That means you can't just call someone "a vermicular"--it's a word used to qualify a noun, so, you could say that someone is a "vermicular cretin", or a "vermicular piece of shit". Whatever you want.

I don't mean to insult the intelligence of those who already know how basic English works, but I've seen a couple people try to use some of my words before, and sometimes the results are... messy. I didn't think I'd have to include a parts-of-speech code to these things, but at some point, I may have to. <_<

Well, I hope you guys aren't hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobes.

like, i thought half the point of video game RPGs was to escape from this DnD crap

Does alcohol count?
If yes, when I was offered a sip of some beer at a family gathering. I was curious as I didn't know what it was, as I was 8 at the time.
If no, I was drunk and didn't know the brownies were spiked. I still don't know what was in them but it screwed me up for the rest of the weekend. Decided to stick to my booze from that point onward.

alcohol definitely counts, yes

Could care less what you think of me really.

*couldn't

it's 2015
get it right

dude if you even read that thread youd know i havent liked pone for years

regardless

there was a time in your life where you could honestly, confidently, and unironically state that "i enjoy this show"

those are stains you can't wash off, son

Really really nerdy and stupid.

Like, whatever, do your own thing, but like... Jesus, that's cringey.

I think it's a lot more than that. Because if it's just the ability to control it, every single dream I've ever had has been a lucid one.

control yourself or control all the events within the dream?

Events, yeah.
