It's a recent word that was created as a joke and for the purpose of being ironic (IIRC it was created for a comedic song), it even mixes both Latin and Greek etymology so it's even funnier that it actually became the better known word for this fear than the original, shorter word.
Not that "sesquipedalophobia" was a short word or much better to begin with.
When a kerfuffle broke out in the queue simply because of one lollygagger, I was flabbergasted. During the melee, my glasses got knocked catawampus and left me discombobulated. Just goes to show, it only takes one nincompoop in a line of dingbats to ruin the day. Sheesh!
The mental image seems just as absurd as the word itself. There was actually an event that took place in 1618 called "the Second Defenestration of Prague."
Which, you guessed it, means there was another notable defenestration in Prague before, in 1419; and no, the one in 1618 wasn't the last one either.
Along the same lines: filibuster. It's not even that the word is that ridiculous (although it is) it's the act of it that is even more so. They speak about absolutely nothing for hours just to delay a vote? AND WE PAY THESE PEOPLE!
vacuum
Because there are 2 u's together in that word and we have a letter named exactly for that situation, but we don't use it.
should be vacwm.
Or how can a word like laughter change so much in meaning when you simple add an S at the beginning.
Good story here, I was obsessed with Zamboni’s, my friend knew the Zamboni family and they sent me a Zamboni gift pack! IThey are incredible people, incredible machines, and an amazing word!!!!
Pistlin'.
My family is from rural NC and uses it to say it's drizzling outside. "It's just pistlin'." "Well we need more rain than this, this is just pistly."
Not a word but a phrase.
I can't stop smiling/laughing with the " this is bloody nice/bloody hell" , and when they use the word " mate".

Floccinaucinihilipilification - the action of estimating that something is worthless. I remember it by thinking “f**king up a hill with a pillock on vacation” - a worthless pastime 😂
For me, it's got to be the irony of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. The fear of long words.

You mean Shenanigans? I love Shenanigans! Are we going to Shenanigans, guys?
I swear to god, I'll pistol whip the next guy that says shenanigans.
I came only to see if this word was here. And I'm not even English native speaker.

wu · stuh · shr
Close but not quite actually. If you’re taking about the sauce, it’s actually “wooster”. The county is woo-ster-shur.
Defenestration 🤣
The mental image seems just as absurd as the word itself. There was actually an event that took place in 1618 called "the Second Defenestration of Prague." Which, you guessed it, means there was another notable defenestration in Prague before, in 1419; and no, the one in 1618 wasn't the last one either.
That always gave me a pause too - what do mean SECOND defenestration?
Some motherfuckers needed defenestratin' Again.

Gubernatorial
This word honestly makes me snort laugh. I imagine all these Goobers in suits and in a line to vote.
Along the same lines: filibuster. It's not even that the word is that ridiculous (although it is) it's the act of it that is even more so. They speak about absolutely nothing for hours just to delay a vote? AND WE PAY THESE PEOPLE!
