This comment is sufficient to condemn you to the dark, stinky recesses
of my "low score" section along with other intellectual heavyweights as
7 and Roybot Spamowitz. You are a complete and utter twit. Why would
anyone bother reading your inane rants? Me no more. Note : you're not
killfiled. Willy Boaster and Chrisv are the "plonk" kings. Your posts
are just moved to the bottom and are slightly less black than the
background .....
Please refer to my .sig below for any further help with why your "win

fanboy and idiot.

Not pretentious enough, Creepy.

Remember, you're a preening girlie-man who finds positioning the mouse
to be "laborious". Don't ever relax your standards for ostentatious words.

Thats strange. Either he's a dishonest, lying hypocrite desperate for
attention or you're telling lies DFS. Creepy has even posted his 1337
gui desktop pics here and constantly boasts about his minimal xfce set
up (I think it was anyway). Poor Creepy seems to get confused.

Emasculated

- "#1 - To have been rendered less of a man, or been made to feel much
less of a man through humiliation. This term is most often used to describe
a male douchebag who has been pussywhipped by his woman."

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

The fear of long words.

Ben is a sufferer of a mild form of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

Usage notes

It is unlikely that this 15-syllable contrivance is ever used purely
for its meaning. The term sesquipedaliophobia is recognized in
formal writing, while the four-syllable phrase fear of long words is
certainly worth considering.

In the book, Useless Knowledge, this enormous word was
misinterpreted by the authors as two words, causing them to list the
fear of long words as the following:

hippopotomonstroses
quippedaliophobia

These fragments appear to be quoted occasionally in other sources
