The Longest Thread

The Longest Thread EVER!!!!

 

Let's make a mission to make the longest thread in CaC EVER! I think we just need to get more than 144 posts right now. We'll need lots of different themes to talk about to keep this thread from dying, but I think we can do it, right? I mean, that's why this is called the CHATTERbox, isn't it? :-)  Okay, then. Ready? Set?

GO!!!

 

P.S. Let's try to do CaC first, and if we accomplish our goal, we can do other sections, okay? Good. Now let's get chatting!!!

It depends on the computer. I tampered around with the settings; I don't remember exactly what I did, but if you have a Windows like me, I'll tell you.

Ah.  No.  We only have Macs, but they do have (most anyway) a Windows side.  However, I don't have an account there and never use it.

 

Now Spammy says wutu.  Tutu?  Woohoo?  Voodoo?

Whoa! Have they put a limit on how much you can put in the location box! I wanted to put my usual post in but it only went until: 5 days unti 

Admin? 

 

Yes, our Webmaster limited it. That box is just supposed to be for a short location.

Ummmmmmm....favorite word.  Nourishment....I love the way it flows of your tongue and it fits it's meaning so well.  I'm weird...  I like the word weird too, and Grammar, and Wolf, and Dragon.

@ Oregano

Favorite word? it would have to be ........ (drumroll)

 

QUIRKY!!!!!

here is why:

1. It starts with a q, and Q's are awsome.

2. It is yet another word for weird, crazy, odd, which describes me pretty well.....

3. It has that perfect combo of letters, from the harsh K, to the kind R, to the smart Y, plus the I who knows it all and the Q and U who are always together....

4. Um duh. It's AWSOME!

 

H'm, R is kind, I never realized that before!

I'm not sure what my favorite word is, but here are some of them: I love the sound of pickelhaube, pfeffernuss, floccinaucinaucinihilipilificate, higgledy-piggledy, einkorn, and cnidnarian. I also love neologism for its double meanings. The word crotchet is very convenient when you get a brooch version (or 4) of an eccentric interest (like tardigrades!). Tardigrade is also an excellent word, but I prefer the term ‘moss piglet.’ I’m not sure why I never use it, actually…. I also like tingo, sysygy, susurrus, quark, smock, zing, mycorrhiza, nudibranch, astringent, octopodes, sphygmomanometer zard, kerf, song, viscacha, twonk, erkling, floccinaucinihilipilification, chyme, agog, voortrekker, qiviut, tenebrionid, pediddle, tittle, dibble, and tesserae. Katzenjammer, bibliotheca, bambino! Bibliophile! Xenomorphida, arctisconia! Quaeritate, millieacious. Samisen. Quincux. Obloquy. Ophicleide. Mellifluous, lugubrious, mnemonic. Tintinabulation. Obsequious. Macaronic. Coxcomb. Kinnikinick! Scofflaw! Vroom! Myrmecophile! Teleost! Bismuth! Aschelminth! Furcae! Peribuccal lamellae! Xenophagous.

Floccinaucinihilipilificate!  Where did you FIND that word???  I couldn't find it in our dictionary.  Incidentally, the way I found floccinaucinihilipilification was completely random.  I was bored and looked up words starting with flo.  :)

It's not in mine, either. I learned it from ZNZ--or was it ML? I don't remember.

What does floccinaucinihilipilification mean? I love black holes!!!!!!!!!!! Someone say they do too. I don't like being lonely. This is really random. I am rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyy BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Innocent

 

It means:

  
an act or instance of judging something to be worthless or trivial
Etymology:   

the parts of the word each mean 'at nothing' or 'with a small price'
