I had to read this twice, I thought you were saying Burger King makes your skin crawl

No, I love BK. If I must eat a burger, this is the one.

I used to love their bacon double cheeseburgers, but they just don't taste the same anymore to me. If I'm going to go out for a burger vs making my own anymore, it's usually Wendy's or Carl's Jr/Hardees (depending on where you're at). Even then, I'd rather make my own.

I also hadn't heard "sesquipedalian" used as a noun before. I only remembered it as a word used to describe other long words
It looks like Wiktionary has some meanings listed that the Google dictionary doesn't, which is interesting.

Apparently it means 1.5 feet long according to the etymology. A 1.5 foot long word lol

I like to use 'dah'lin' sometimes.

FWIW my formative years were in Orange County, CA in the 80’s….. so “suck it up buttercup.”

I hate that saying!

Yes. Also, one who uses long words, or words a foot and a half long.
