The word onomatopoeia is an onomatopoeia because it's derived from the sound of the word when spoken aloud
- Ken M.
And how is it pronounced
Onomatopoeia
Is Ken M still active anywhere?
No he died
Everywhere?
On this blessed day we are all dead everywhere
Nah, just in New Jersey
Where else is he gonna go? Detroit?
Here's the opposite:
The work calque is a loanword, and the word loanword is a calque
Nice calque
Nice calque, bro
Sesquipedalian is autological because sesquipedalian means 'having many syllables or using long, complex words.'
How would one pronounce that word?
sess - kwih - peh - dale - ian
Thanks.
Huh... I had always assumed that it related to having one and a half feet/legs.
Been one of my favorite words for a long time.

Is the word "heterological" homological or heterological?
If it is heterological, then it must be homological.

This is a setup for someone to ponder if the word "nonautological" is an autological word or not.
It is a one word encapsulation of the same paradox created by the phrase "this sentence is false."
So if it isn't, does that mean nonautological is nonautological? Which makes it autological again?

It would be a Grellingian Word

So close.
Are names of colors also autological words if they are written in their own color?
I don't think so, but try writing it in a color different than the color of the word to really mess with people's head.
The word autological is autological.
