We’re a funny lot down at All Words - we hate jargon but we love interesting and unusual words. So I guess you could call us sesquipedalians - given to using long words (only when needed, of course). And I’ve found out we’re not alone.
And in an amazing co-incidence, defenestrate is also my all time favourite word. It means to throw something or someone (usually forcibly) out of a window. I used it frequently this week in reference to my broken-yet-again Blackberry (phone, not fruit).
So what’s your favourite word?

floccinaucinihilipilification - the act of regarding something as of no worth, usually using deprecation. Longest word in the English Language that isn’t science or technology related, and yes it is longer than antidisestablishmentarianism. x
