tell me what you think of the longest word in the world, it is greek it is long and it is definatly hitting you guys now, i bet you cant say it once then 5X faster

the word is Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyph- ophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon


it means The original Greek spelling had 183 characters (something which is not obvious in the Roman transcription, depending on the variant) and for centuries it was the longest word known.

The dish was a fricassee, with 17 sweet and sour ingredients, including brains, honey, vinegar, fish, pickles:

and it means in summary "to suit everybodys needs

completly true, honest to god, tell me if you like this word, and here is a challenge:

learn to say it once, then try and say it 5X faster 10X if you succed tell me if you say yes your either VERY VERY VERY clever, or your a liar :)_

PS. i know this isnt a Q or A, but its...

As a Brit living in America, among dozens of other differences in the way we speak our common language, I have noticed that Americans would say "I will bring you" somewhere, where we Brits would say "I will take you".

I am not usually quite this pedantic, but in this instance, the British way seems much more grammatically correct. Surely you "take" something to someone or somewhere. We would only use bring in a sentence like this....... "I will TAKE you to the picnic on Saturday. Will you BRING the wine?" (You are taking your friend to an event, and he/she is bringing the wine with her). We would never use bring for an event in the future, though we might say I will bring you as my guest.

Does anybody even see the difference, or even remotely agree with me? Ok, so now howl me down!!

Somewhere along the way I picked up the daft phrase "If your granny had balls, she'd be your grandad".

Basically it means what is, IS; in other words, don't stress about the past as you can't change what's been and gone.

Am I alone on this one?! I've never heard anyone else use it, but it must have come from somewhere.

For homework our teacher put us in partners and told us to write a paragraph or poem about our partner. I don't want to write a boring paragraph, but I suck at poems. Can you help me make a poem about her, I am not supposed to say the name (we will then mix them up and try to guess who's it is)

Here are some of the things she likes (and her characteristics)
-Coke
-Converse
-Vampires
-Boys
-She has black hair and brown eyes
-She is Sri Lanken but since she is adopted she is also Australian

She is pretty popular and nice... I don't hang out with her which is why I kinda need some help...

When I talk, I tend to mix up the letters in words.
For example I'll say:

A kellow yey-(a yellow key)

This happens about 2 times every hour. what could it be?
