Big Word Meaning!

[Miss Muffet]

Whilst searching for animals beginning with 'E' for my list (the search didn't last long! ) I came across the following word:

Eellogofusciouhipoppokunurious

Now, without cheating, what's your best guess as to its meaning? :idea:

The prize for the right answer is my utmost respect at your unbelievable brainy cleverness!!

Answer in a couple of days.

Also, found an amusing mis-spelling in an old magazine - countrycide!! Is this the mass killing of rural places?????:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Is it a 'curious kellogs eating fuscia coloured hippopotamus'

I dread to think what you were really searching for to come across this word !!

Ahh, Air, I know the first one cos it's my hubby's favourite big word!!(bless!), But I won't spoil it for the funny guesses!

The second one?? hmmm... is it a fear of talking about funny bicycles??:rotfl:

As for my word, I'm worried you'll all be disappointed now!!:sorry: I'm off to find some more....

BTW, does anyone know the longest word? It's 'smiles' cos there's a mile between the first letter and the last!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

ok ive had a good hard think about it all! this is it!.....

floccinaucinihilipilification - is the word to describe the process by which a flock of cinaucin are taken up a hill and are piled!

sesquipedalophobia - obviously this is a phobia of French bikes!!

Eellogofuciouhipoppokunurious - is the term to decribe what happened when the elephant got a little too curious and wished she hadnt snook a peak at the hippopotamus!!! Eello - go - fucious I couldnt possibly tell you at what!!! not on this site anyway!

[Miss Muffet]

Right, I'm gonna get this out of the way, cos I'm starting to stress about the disappointment factor! :sorry:

The meaning to the word 'Eellogofusciouhipoppokunurious' is..........

Good.

Told you, don't say you weren't warned!

I'll try and find one with a better meaning!!
