    Probably not a good idea to go ask Susie what it means either. Just the asking could get you in trouble with the PC police, even if you didn’t know what it means.

    The word can’t be that bad. The really bad words are usually very short.

    It could be pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconisiosis, but i doubt that would make Hobbes sitting-jump into the air.

    Hobbes knows. He’s just playing with you, Calvin.

    This reminds me of my childhood reading C&H. Watterson always had me fetching a dictionary to understand certain strips.

    Now a German word: Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänkajütenschlüssel – what do you say to this?

    Could it possibly be the word was Pooka? "Wilson: [reading from an encyclopedia] “P O O K A – Pooka – from old Celtic mythology – a fairy spirit in animal form – always very large. The pooka appears here and there – now and then – to this one and that one – a benign but mischievous creature – very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?” “How are you, Mr. Wilson?” Who in the encyclopedia wants to know? "

    As a teenager, I came across the word “ecdysiast”, and found it interesting that it was not found in many dictionaries (probably because they were not large enough). And that became my word to qualify all dictionaries as ‘good enough’ or not, based on whether they listed that word or not.

    Judging from Hobbes’ reaction, the word was obviously tigricide.

    Personally, I’m a big fan of floccinaucinihilipilification.

    Its definition?

    A useless act.

    Then there’s the longest word in the English language: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocoliosis. A lung disease. Learned to spell it in 5th grade and never forgot it!
