Keith's Ramblings

.

I used to suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, I detested multisyllabic words. Whenever I heard one, paramnesia kicked in. 

However that changed when I fell for a muliebrious sesquipedalian girl called Aubrielliana, they do say antitheticals attract. She spoke and I smiled, nodded or shook my head hoping it was the appropriate rejoinder.

Everything changed when I made a serendipitous discovery in a book shop, a  Longword Lexicon. Suddenly we were able to communicate efficaciouslty!

However, this morning she used the word defenestration and to my horror it wasn’t in my lexicon. I was so angry I chucked it out the window.

Thanks to Sammi Cox for hosting the Weekend Writing Prompt.

In case it’s not in your dictionary either, it means – the action of throwing something or someone  out of a window!

*As I was writing this, my mind went back to my childhood days. My grandfather would read to me and whenever he came across a lengthy word he would just say ‘longword’ instead ond carry on!
