Long-wordedness
Jul. 5th, 2006 04:51 pmOn Printculture, S. Shirazi decried a JavaScript-enforced rule on Netflix which does not permit words of larger than sixteen characters to be entered in a review. From this evolved a contest to make up a movie plot which would require a word in excess of sixteen characters to describe it. Herewith, my attempt:
Film: The year is 1848. A young Church of England priest is engaged to be married to a young woman of acceptable breeding, moderate beauty,but minimal fortune. He is to be made vicar of a growing parish whose ranks are swollen by increasing numbers of the bourgeoisie. However,there is a threat to his happiness: there is a plot afoot to dethrone the Church of England as the sole state church. If this occurs, he will lose his parish, his living, and the girl. With the aid of his new parish's learned but doughty verger, he goes to London to foil the plot and save the Church of England.
Word: âantidisestablishmentarianism.â
