The Assumption game

[FableFreak]

Close, but be a little more specific.

Cheapskate- Someone who is stingy.
Also: Me

[FableFreak]

Well look at that he won.

Now do you want e-rum or an e-cookie?

[oldschoolrpger]

E-Rum……… unfortunately that is as close to alcohol I will be able to get for the next two weeks.

[FableFreak]

Hahaa, I'd like to see anyone get this word w/out looking it up!!!!

Sesquipedalophobia

[Angel]

Well I understand the phobia bit but as for the rest I couldn't tell you without cheating. And now that I have cheated, I too am afraid. Always so very afraid...

[oldschoolrpger]

I have to give you props because they are due. You my friend deserve an E-beer just for knowing that word. Much like Angel I would have never guessed it. Just for pure curiosity I had to look it up.

[dDuecy]

Being Afraid Of People Maybe? Thats probaly terribly wrong but whatever

[FableFreak]

The meaning will actually make you laugh because of how strange the phobia is. As I know nobody will get it without looking it up oldschoolrpger you have the honors to tell everybody what it means.

[oldschoolrpger]

Why thank you Fable Freak. Sesquipedalophobia is the fear of long words. It also has a synonym hippopotomonstrosesquippe daliophobia. This means a monstrous fear of long words. It is funny when you think about it because anyone with these phobias would be afraid to know what they had.

I was just going to say those are both horribly long words, and wonderfully ironic for their meaning.

This should be a simple one....

muslin

[Angel]

Isn't it a type of cloth? Traditionally used to cover jam pots, pot pourri, bagging up spices/herbs/vegetable bits to flavour soups/mulled wine and for use when feeding babies so they don't chuck all over your clothes? (Little tip from me - just don't feed them so much...)

[oldschoolrpger]

You pretty much nailed that one on the head, very impressive. Also commonly known to make house curtains.

Cheers - I just remember the stuff from when my kid was little and I never used it coz it was so damn expensive. Just nicked my sister's clothes instead...
