Hello. There was another word by Eckhart that was mentioned in the movie, something about a person writing/ speaking strange words.. i have no idea how to spell it, it’d be nice if you could put it up too. Thanks! =)
@Dawn, the other word was ’sesquipedalianist’. It means a person who loves to use long and unusual words.
Thanks for the heads up Tweedledee!
actually ive been looking for that word too. ever since i saw this movie i became addicted to long and interesting words!!
The internet sure does make having odd hobbies a lot easier, doesn’t it?
I loves my internet!
How did he find the word poppysmic so easily? The other two words were readily available in your average dictionary, but poppysmic isn’t even recognized as a real word in most dictionaries or spell-checkers.
I think it’s rather disheartening. Here, I thought there was a whole world of cool words that included poppysmic, come to find, the movie pulled that onomatopoeia from an ancient (apparently French) etymology.
Very simple, because it looked for the word in google and not in a dictionary. Sorry my English, I am not. ;D
Sarah – Vigo is right, I used google. There are all kinds of online word sites though, and the average bloke or bonnie isn’t probably spending time there, so yes, there is a whole world of cool words out there. Cheer up!
Vigo – I understood you perfectly! Thanks.
