    I used to think the way the word "Abbreviation" was quite long was a bit odd.

    However, surely they were taking the piss when thinking this one up?.....

    Well, I thought so too. A friend who's studying psychology first mentioned something about it there being a stupidly long word for the condition. And a bit of googling found that. Then the quote in the first post was the result from www.dictionary.com

    Google throws up many results!
