What is the longest word you have ever used in casual conversation?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is déjà vu. There are numerous others but I just cannot think of anymore right now.

Urban dictionary is always hilarious and can be informative on modern culture.

Do you care to know the origin of a language you are learning?
hdejong replied to mareebaybay's topic in Language Learning
I believe the origin of the language is very important. I once had a professor who went into great debts about the roots of words and their relations to other language. I loved how he did that -
I was like most kids and my first words were "mom" and "dad" but the next word I spoke was "ball."

What is Hardest- Reading, Writing, or Speaking?
hdejong replied to tulosai's topic in Language Learning
For me the hardest is listening. Hearing a language from a native speaker is much harder than hearing it from an instructor. The easiest for me is reading. -
This is what urban dictionary has to say about the word and I agree.
