Q: What is the BIGGEST word you’ve seen used in a book lately – that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too.
Ooh too bad I look up big words and then promptly forget them! Umm... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Okay, seriously, I can't remember - the trouble with being able to look up words on kindle, is that the motions of looking up the word in a dictionary or even typing it out on a website makes the word stay in my head. I hold my finger over the word on my kindle and the meaning is right there! (kinda awesome though)
I will edit this post if I come across a word soon though!
EDIT:
I got one! From The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling: Vetiver
"...grateful to feel Miles beside her, big and paunchy, smelling of vetiver and old sweat."
Definition:
vetiver: a perennial grass of the Poaceae family, native to India. It has a gregarious habit and grows in bunches.
