Thank you! I'm so glad you've enjoyed these. I'm always ridiculously excited to find a five-syllable word to add to the list. (Yep, there's a list. Dork alert!) I just re-watched The Princess Bride and had to work really hard to not just go ahead and say "Inconthievable!" ;)
Why can I never hear this word without Wallace Shawn uttering it in my brain?
I love each of the mini-quotes here so much. Hard to improve on the original, eh?
BTW, my kid is reading a book wherein the heroes fight off the forces of darkness with 13-letter words. She's collecting them. Inconceivable goes in the file.
Caught that, did you? I think that the original word was something like "unfathomable," but then I re-watched The Princess Bride over the weekend with Miss Z and couldn't resist. I even posted it with "Incontheivable!" for about three seconds but then chickened out and fixed it.
Ooh, title, please? Those sound like my kind of heroes. I should check my five-syllable word list, b/c I'll bet there are some 13-letter words lurking in there. Like "insubordinate!"
The 13-letter weapon books are part of a series by Scott Westerfeld (of Uglies fame) called Midnighters. The first one is called The Secret Hour and there are at least 3 in the series, so far. I haven't read them, but McDiva reads me the funny parts in an effort to avoid "lights out".
Buffy never gets enough credit for her brain, and it really irritates me. I mean, quips of that caliber are clearly an indicator of a high-functioning intellect.

The alliteration is inspired:
"Buffy buys brain bleach."
I especially admire the found haikus!
Can't wait for the final installments -- this has been a terrific episode recap!

from an android concubine?
Maybe death from embarrassment is her real gift?
Inconceivable!

They couldn’t tell her
from an android concubine?
Sooo discouraging.
That is pretty sad if you think about it, clearly her "friends" don't pay a lot of attention to her.
