squirreled

It's the longest one-syllable word last time I checked. Pretty ridiculous that it is one syllable honestly.

pink

Not the color. The sound of something tiny-yet-structurally-significant snapping under pressure; juuuuust before the most chaotic gosh-damned thing you've ever seen in your life happens. Car accidents, roller coaster failures, towers collapsing (not those ones) - it's pretty much always preceded by a tiny little pink

I used to have a dog named Schnozz! He was always sticking his schnozz where it shouldn't be

eyebrow wiggle

The only person that could turn a three letter word into three syllables

Have you ever read My Teacher Flunked The Planet? There's a little slug creature thing called a poot in that book. I love it

[–] ivanafterall 4 points 1 day ago

Came here to say "poot." Truly, a refined and sophisticated selection, well done.

Scrunched

Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think 'scrunched' is the longest one I've seen in this post, I can't think of a longer one.

In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that 'abbreviate' is such a long word.

[–] idiomaddict 4 points 1 day ago

If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.
