LOL, thought you and Renegade 13 might like that comment

Missed that the first time...I second the "Watch it!" Remember, stereotypes are wrong as often as they are right!

Of course. Not all fat people are lazy slobs who sit around all day staring at a video screen.

Of course, I'M not fat. I am simply 20%+ undertall.

Its been a while since we've had a new word so...I guess it's my turn

Satire

1. a literary work in which vices, follies, etc. are held up to ridicule and contempt.
2. the use of ridicule, sarcasm, etc. to attack vices, follies, etc.

Lan: "Trompe" should not be too difficult to pronounce, but "l'oeil" is another matter. I think it is likely one of the hardest words to pronounce correctly. I don't know much about phonetics, but it should be vaguely as: "leuïl", with a certain stress on the "i". As soon as I get back my "how to say it" program, I will try to get a closer approximation.

Besides this, my own contribution will be "Floccinaucinihilipilification". Not only is this word fairly long, but it also means "the act of judging someone or something as worthless". You could argue it was created for the sake of making a very long word though, so that might disqualify it for competing in "Word of the day". At any rate, it should be a fun design name for my next warship, and will likely annoying the player(s) facing it to no end.
