<p>I can never remember what the flipped e/small a things sound like ha.</p>

482

<p>^^IPA!</p>

<p>It’s like shaw-duhn-froy-duh.</p>

<p>Shaw is like the last name Shaw. Duhn is a bit more u-ish than where a bear sleeps. Froy- like Sigmund Freud without the d. Or his wife (Anne?). Duh like, well, duh.</p>

<p>I only really know the upside down e in IPA. It’s an uh sound. Oh, and the apostrophes and commas indicate which syllables are stressed.</p>

<p>So really it’s SHAW-duhn-FROY-duh, I guess. With Froy being less stressed than shaw.</p>

<p>I really hope that former Harvard linguistics professor Dr. B Vaux never sees this post and judges me for it.</p>

<p>Avenue Q!!! :)</p>

484

<p>I learned that word when some annoying girl mispelled it in a spelling bee :D</p>

485

<p>hahaha. I love the word too. Can’t stop myself from saying it randomly.</p>

486

<p>I’m both looking foward to and dreading the big “ACCEPTED!” thread in the Harvard forum. :x Praying I get in!</p>

487

<p>haha thanks, I try to help whenever possible. It’s a fabulous word.</p>

488

<p>this is another word that i love:</p>

<p>Crambazzled
a victorian word, meaning to be prematurely aged by drink and a desolute life</p>

489

<p>What a pretentious location to be at, neonseri! And you’re not even waiting for decisions.</p>

490

<p>^ </p>

<p>huh? how am i not waiting for decisions?</p>

491

<p>blexical is by far the sickest word ever. It doesn’t mean anything but it just sounds cool.</p>

<p>My favorite sounding word that officially is part of the English language is supercilious.</p>

492

<p>Bilgunn: Did you ever think about the fact that neonseri received a likely letter from UPenn and possibly applied early to Yale, and got accepted?</p>

<p>You’re the one who’s jumping the conclusions lol.</p>

493

<p>I think bilgunn is referring to the fact that neonseri indicated that he is waiting for “acceptances” from Ivy league school, not “decisions”. am I right?</p>

494

<p>^lol thats what I got from it</p>

495

<p>bumps!!

496

<p>oh gosh… i will now then change acceptance to decision…</p>

<p>:P</p>

<p>poor choice of words on my part… </p>

<p>good luck to everyone… the “end” is coming… bwuahhaa</p>

497

<p>much classier, thanks neonseri :)</p>
