Have you come across a weird word lately?

For example - the English word with the most unpronounced letters is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," which has 20 silent letters. This word refers to a type of lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silicate or quartz dust.

They're all silent if attempted to be pronounced by a sufferer of this disease...

magic? or something like that?

@rinkydinkydoink Or 'fast fingering'. It's generally used in the illusionist sense. :)

'Coprophagic Onanist' is a lovely insult to be used against people who are offended by swear words.

You're wearing me out!
I like the way W.C. Fields had to tweak the language to get his points across... Godfrey Daniel! being but one example. His "my hat, my cane, Jeeves" became Mahatma Kane Jeeves his authorship pseudonym for more than one movie.
