One of the many nerdy things I enjoy doing is reading the Word of the Day RSS feed from dictionary.com. Anyways, today's word of the day is sesquipedalian.

sesquipedalian \ses-kwuh-puh-DAYL-yuhn\, adjective:
1. Given to or characterized by the use of long words.
2. Long and ponderous; having many syllables.

Boy, they weren't kidding. Unfortunately for sesquipedalian, defenestrate is still my all-time favorite.

And for those who are interested, dictionary.com has also started releasing Word Explorer Podcasts!
