Unashamedly sentimental and simple love song

FinsburyParkCarrots

Stranger: don't you know
You're the green dell at the angels' playfield?
Freshwater blue cascade
brings the bliss you weave.
With your soft hairflow
Upon your breast, here at the black ford
noontide
Let your call be made.
Eclipse me beyond all loves.
Stranger: don't you know
that you've me won?
You're the fire
of my reborn sun.

And darling, don't you know
You're the palace of my place of wonder?
You're the first and the last
who'll ever really hold this heart.
You kiss my furrowed brow
and brightly warm a soul
Too long in winter.
We'll kiss away the past: in your arms I'll build our start.
Darling: don't you know now, what you've done?
You're the fire of my reborn sun.


(Chorus)
Freshwater blue cascade
Freshwater blue cascade
Freshwater blue cascade
You're the dream gods weave


Lover, now I know
the wisdom Grainuaile has whispered to me.
Through her castle walls,
I've been hearing her sound your name.
And I've discovered how
I had to journey here for love to find me
Embrace me at my calls:
I'm home! I'm home! I'm home!
Maybe we were led to meet as one:
You are the fire of this reborn sun.

what the hell?

Dear Straight Dope:

Is antidisestablishmentarianism really a word? If it is, what does it mean and is it the longest word? Just asking. --Otis

SDSTAFF Dogster and SDSTAFF Ian reply:

Otis, you caught us on a good day when we'm not going to chide you for not looking the dang word up yourself in that magical tome known as a dictionary. Instead, we’ll get out our truss and pick up the Oxford English Dictionary. Turning to page 59, we find that antidisestablishmentarianism is indeed a word. The definition is as follows: “Properly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, but popularly cited as an example of a long word.” Catching the irony here?

As for the second half of your question, the longest word in the first OED was 29-letter floccinaucinihilipilification (the categorizing of something as worthless or trivial). The longest in the OED2, usually cited as the longest word in any English dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (a miners' lung disease caused by inhaling silica), 45 letters. Some scholars, however, deride this word as "made up," and declare '"floccinau...'" to be the champ. And, of course, there are some hippopotomonstrosesquipidelian (30 letters, means "long") words in specialized fields, especially chemistry, where they apparently just tack on another few letters every time they rewrite the textbooks. The full name of the tryptophan synthetase A protein, an enzyme with 267 amino acids, extends to 1,913 letters:

methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphenylalanyla lanylglutaminylleucyllysylglutamylarginyllysylglutamylglycylalany lphenylalanylvalylprolylphenylalanylvalylthreonylleucylglycylaspa rtylprolylglycylisoleucylglutamylglutaminylserylleucyllysylisoleu cylaspartylthreonylleucylisoleucylglutamylalanylglycylalanylaspar tylalanylleucylglutamylleucylglycylisoleucylprolylphenylalanylser ylaspartylprolylleucylalanylaspartylglycylprolylthreonyliso leucylglutaminylaspfraginylalanylthreonylleucylarginylalanylpheny lalanylalanylalanylglycylvalylthreonylprolylalanylglutaminylcyste inylphenylalanylglutamylmethionylleucylalanylleucylisoleucylargin ylglutaminyllysylhistidylprolylthreonylisoleucylprolylisoleucylgl ycylleucylleucylmethionyltyrosylalanylasparaginylleucylvalylpheny lalanylasparaginyllysylglycylisoleucylaspartylglutamylphenylalany ltyrosylalanylglutaminylcysteinylglutamyllysylvalylglycylva lylaspartylserylvalylleucylvalylalanylaspartylvalylprolylvalylglu taminylglutamylserylalanylprolylphenylalanylarginylglutaminylalan ylalanylleucylarginylhistidylasparaginylvalylalanylprolylisoleucy lphenylalanylisoleucylcysteinylprolylprolylaspartylalanylaspartyl aspartylaspartylleucylleucylarginylglutaminylisoleucylalanylseryl tyrosylglycylarginylglycyltyrosylthreonyltyrosylleucylleucylseryl arginylalanylglycylvalylthreonylglycylalanylglutamylasparag inylarginylalanylalanylleucylprolylleucylasparaginylhistidylleucy lvalylalanyllysylleucyllysylglutamyltyrosylasparaginylalanylalany lprolylprolylleucylglutaminylglycylphenylalanylglycylisoleucylser ylalanylprolylaspartylglutaminylvalyllysylalanylalanylisoleucylas partylalanylglycylalanylalanylglycylalanylisoleucylserylglycylser ylalanylisoleucylvalyllysylisoleucylisoleucylglutamylglutaminylhi stidylasparaginylisoleucylglutamylprolylglutamyllysylmethio nylleucylalanylalanylleucyllysylvalylphenylalanylvalylglutaminylp rolylmethion yllysylalanylalanylthreonylarginylserine.

Oh, I mean at the top of your screen. The penultimate button on the right says search. Click that, then type in that word there. You'll get the times it's been discussed on the board!

FinsburyParkCarrots

No...I just tried that, and the search engine practically said "You're 'avin' a fakkin' laugh, int ya!"

i love the symbolism and the contrast!

and all/

when i was "spelling-bee" winner back in elementary school, smiles

i won with the Longest word:

pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis


yep, i think that is the longest word.

pretty easy to see the sub-words Now, but as a 10-yearold lassie was quite a feat!

essentially, it is a delicate form of pneumonia that coal-miner's get from the particulate dust

cassia

i love the consonant-cluster of this phrase, i'm quite fond of K and d sounds (and their corollaries g/ T)

ah, Grace....

and though ye be tough as iron
and wit as sharp as knife
still ye be bonnie queen

My dad's little farm is on the Atlantic bay at Doona, Ballycroy, almost next to Grainuaile's Fahy Castle, on the shoulder of Slievemore, looming from Achill about three miles away. I swear she's still about the place, along the strand....
