By the time you've said floccinaucinihilipilification 20 times it will just roll off your tongue. As for banning my word, I'm fine with that as long as that also includes embedding within other words. Of course other winner's words would be exempt, or else you'd have to pronounce "floccinucinihilipilifiction"

Ooh that old Catchword favourite. Dare I hope to influence some ones choice of word to something long beginning with p
. (wash your mind out Listeri, I meant a long word)
I didn't mean we all drop the same one, I just meant that we could add the requirement you need to use at least 8 of the 9 set words.
I won!??
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nahh! It's okay. I was just being... floccinucinihilipilifictional?

Doesn't the definition of 'word' include (somewhere) 'must be in the OED'?
Finally a (dabble) without moist parsimonious floccinaucinihilipilification. Can't wait for the other three words
I think that's only a rule in Scrabble.
It's a moot point. The word is too long for the Scrabble board. Well, in fact it's a MOOT (6 pts)

The Turnaround
The floccinaucinihilipilification of the Roman Dwarves never seemed more unjust. Tommy removed his fist from without his belly button and pounded the console. The communication seemed garbled.
Being a somewhat parsimonios ass he was concerned this was a fault with his own equipment. Would he finally need to spend some money on an upgrade?
As he rocked himself to a standing position as small squeak escaped his buttocks leaving a moist stain on his chair. He waddled through to ships server. The cam feed of Rose and Seamus still functional. The word written in blood across the monitor - new. "Revenge"

I'm not submitting a word. I guess that will be the only drabble I submit. Not sure which is sillier, the new topic or trying to tie it up instead of voting on your favorite OR destroying the readings with so much schoolyard humor it drives off listeners. Maybe I am just more prone to moderation?
Have a great Drabble, guys!

I should point out that this week is a particularly silly topic, mostly down to a breakout of wry sabotage and outright absurdism by a number of regulars (of which I might be one...) We're usually more sensible than this when it comes to topics and drabbles, take a look at the list of previous topics in the first and second post on the thread for proof of this.
As for the readings... yeah, that's a bit chaotic, I view it as an optional extra, rather than a key part of the drabble contest. It really is not for everybody.
I get you. Just an ill wind combination blew sour notes across my palette and affecting my appetite for more consumption I guess? No huge thing, my contribution would pale when stood up against the quality and practiced prose of all y'all's wily contributions.
the lieutennants moist defacation finally began to make sense the floccinaucinihilipilification of his orders
did not come without a smelly revenge on the alien assault.

"nooooooooooo he was a class act lad an will be sorely missed!, put all those effected out of there missery ASAP!"
"the lieutennant is still shouting orders an barely affected as his mouth is now were his arsk used to be."
