I have heard about the supercal.... one but do the last two even exist??
In his play Assemblywomen (Ecclesiazousae), the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes created the word (... last but one) of 183 letters.
I think the only way to make a word stick is to make it useful in some way; to call it up and make it your own. I try very hard in my teaching to get my students to sit up and take notice of new words. Unfortunately, it falls on deaf ears, I think. Most of what I read of theirs is so bland. We've no school today due to icy road conditions, tomorrow I'll pose this question to all of them.
Ooph!I am bowled.
@gael lynch: Thanks for leaving your mind here. The same thing happens with me also. Forgive ice, please.
