whoa - that's a mouthful - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-27: 11:14:00

I love this word. So technical. And with double o's. Speaking of multiple o's, there's only one word in the English language that I know of that has three o's in a row. It's laparohysterosalipingooophorectomy. Hope I spelled that right. It's fairly technical, too, I guess. - Clayton, 2007-06-27: 21:22:00
