The word todays is "Sesquipedalian" or one who uses big words, long words. From the Latin Sesquipedalia or 1 1/2 foot. Became part of the English language in the 16th Century, or so I have read. |

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was a commonly used word back in the 60's and early 70's, YMMV.

"Mumpsimus". Great word, eh? Adherence to tradition. The root word had me thinking medically. |
