my favoret word? easy sesquipedalianism. The practice of using long, sometimes obscure, words in speech or writing.

Hippopottomonstreosesquipedaliophobia presumably comes from the same root. It is, ironically the fear of long words.

It's a musical instrument of the... uh, the band variety. (Sorry. I know nothing about band instruments except that they exist... Oboe's a reed, right? I know it's not a woodwind, but I'm not sure if it's reed or brass.) It is a fun word, though; glad you brought it up!

My friend would murder you for saying that. The oboe is a double-reed woodwind instrument. It's commonly found in concert bands and orchestras. Looks sort of similar to a clarinet (but also different).

While I'm here... "Inconceivable!"

Thank you for the information, and I'm happy to go un-murdered. I'm a an organist, for goodness sake; I can make the oboe noises, but I didn't have any idea what it is until you educated me. 

Also, on the topic of fun words, matinee and manatee. I always get the two confused, so when someone says matinee, I wonder why there's an ocean creature in a theatre production... till I remember what matinee really means.

I know the word, although only because my brother pointed it out to me.

alternatively, you could use the word "sophomoric". (to any sophomores out there, the term does have a meaning)
