Personal comment:

The first time i saw these words, they look nothing more than just random words created after someone finish randomly banging on the keyboard (which also occurs to him to include a few vowels in between). Oh well, i'm not overly appalled by these literal creations, but, definitely aww-ed by the idea that Hey, such WORDS do EXISTS! Incredebulous!

I wonder if the latest Oxford/Longman dictionary have these words in them!


Oh well, if you are a lexophile (lover of words) you'll probably enjoy these long-snaky-words!



Have a great Sunday! (hmm, what's left of it anyway?)
