Boring expository explanation yielding what appears to be actual facts but is really a terse command to look it up yourself.
![]() Authorial chuckle followed by a shrug. Boring expository explanation about the term being related to an old child's game that turns words into dollar values (the letter "a" is worth a cent, "b" is two cents, etc. and that the value of the word is merely the sum of the values of the letters). A further lecture about how "ten-dollar word" merely means a LONG word.

Query as to possibility of any word in the english language or otherwise actually adding up to ten dollars based upon the previous poster's stated values.
Suggestion someone not as lazy as myself examine 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.

Statement that it's called "hyperbole." Further statement that the ten dollar figure is just that, a figure, not an actual cost estimate. Joke that perhaps given current inflation rates, the value of an "a" has jumped far above the one cent mark.

Clarification that previous post was a joke. Random change of current intra-topic topic due to overabundant insanity caused by fish heads. Explantion of fish heads comment. New topic set as: flibbitigibbet. Apologies for apparent lack of logic. Continued insane ramblings interspersed with mutterings of 'kill all'.
Revelation of occupation as postal worker.

Revelation of occupation as sane worker. Winces at the total lack of laughs at that joke.

Addition of post for no reason other than to post. Further emphasis on occupation as POSTAL worker.
Continued homicidal-like muttering. Replacement of 'Kill all' with 'Kill Nate' because... well just BECAUSE.
