This is kind of blowing my mind that a word that long is only one syllable

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Always appreciated the levels of drawl it takes to squeeze this into one.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Funny, I drawl it into one syllable, but I read it as two. Didn't understand how it fit the rule.

Scrunched

Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think 'scrunched' is the longest one I've seen in this post, I can't think of a longer one.

In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that 'abbreviate' is such a long word.

If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.

pink

Not the color. The sound of something tiny-yet-structurally-significant snapping under pressure; juuuuust before the most chaotic gosh-damned thing you've ever seen in your life happens. Car accidents, roller coaster failures, towers collapsing (not those ones) - it's pretty much always preceded by a tiny little pink

poop (or fart); they're such universal words that everybody, kids and adults alike, just understand how gross and funny they are instantly.

I like to yell " HULST ! " whenever i see it, and then point at it. It's dutch for holly

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

Whenever I see holly my brain says "do it, eat the berry." It's not fair that they're so red and plump

I think my brain's trying to kill me
