Use This Word in a Sentence

Last week, I featured my favorite
word and one friend commented their favorite is disestablishmentarianism and another said discombobulation. Okay
everyone, well I wasn't asking for the longest word but your favorite word and yet there seems to be
some sort of connection. Wonder if this is somehow Freudian? The whole 'bigger
is better' thing. Interesting, huh? Well, I surrender.




Anyway, since Hawaii is one of our states we should know
a little Hawaiian. Don’t you think? Think about it-- we all know a little Latin, a
little French, Italian, Spanish and even German. (Trust me; you do even if you
didn't study those languages). For example: When you
go to a Café, ask for a menu and order your Duck l’orange a la carte or en flambé,
you’re practically fluent. The English language loves to
incorporate the best of all worlds.




Meanwhile, there are the lovely Hawaiian Islands that are
part of the United States of America and most of us don’t know more than Aloha!
The longest Hawaiian word is: Humuhumunukunukuapua’a  which is the official state fish. From a
language consisting of only 12 letters, I think this is a very beautiful, musical sounding
word.



Adorable, colorful and for those who think size matters, it's not very large, but has an angular shape, cute stripes and big lips that sift sand for morsels of food.



The long word actually translates to: reef trigger-fish that
grunts like a pig! If you've ever seen High School Musical 2, you might
remember a funny song about this fish. The fish, the word and the song are becoming
very popular and who knows, perhaps sooner than you know-- will be integrated
into our regular English vocabulary just like schadenfreude and fettuccine.


















Mahalo!!
