Sesquipedalian word of the day

topic posted Sat, November 5, 2005 - 3:15 AM by  Travis
Lying in bed at 4:50 this morning, a word popped into
my head which I haven't used for a while:

INFUNDIBULIFORM--Having the form of a funnel or cone.

Very practical word if you ask me. Plus it will fit on across
a Scrabble board. (Not likely to be played, though, since
the longest string of letters therein which forms an acceptable
play is FUNDI. Unless, of course, one is playing a variation
of Scrabble called Clabbers. Then one could extend the
anagrammatic equivalent of FURIBUND with the letters
FIILMNO.)

Alright. Back to bed now.
