As if my lengthy day at work wasn't long enough, I was at work 2 hours later than I wanted to be tonight. I had found myself needing help and only a lynchburgsonian would be able to help me. But my favorite one had bailed on me 2 hours earlier. How dare she!! Search and find, I found one lone person 2 hours away (kind of ironic) still within instant messaging reach. He was online as active so I *pinged* him. Not only was he not able to help me because he doesn't have the super duper computer accesses my heroine possesses, but he was quite wordy about it. A full 1/2 hour later he was detailing how if asked the time, he would tell me how to make a watch. Now that was funny, in a "hey man, I just want my answer and leave for home" kind of way. His definition of sesquipedalian was a bit skewed and I think he rather fancies the word because of it's obnoxious quality. But by days end I was tired and worn. That word made my head explode out of laughter. I sort of like and can appreciate the word. My guess is that I will never use it again on purpose. Heck - it was hard enough to spell and find online. Even Miriam Webster didn't care for the word. But to educate:
--

1. Having many syllables
2. Giving to or characterized by the use of long words
