Stephen Fry's long words
36 Answers
I have just started reading "The Fry Chronicles" and am on page 23 of 284.
So far, I have had to consult a dictionary to find the meaning of:-
ASPERITY, meaning roughness, NARCOLEPSY, meaning excessive daytime sleepiness, LACUNAE, empty space, missing part, SOLIPSTISTIC, the theory that the self is the only thing that can be known or verified.

The thing I noticed about Stephen Fry is that although he is supposed to have a brian the size of a planet I do not think I have ever hear him utter any original thought - certainly none I remember
Now I know guys at the local pub quiz that know 'facts'

I think I've got that - narcolepsy. I only have to sit down and I want to sleep. I think the sitting down triggers something off in my brain. Or brian if you like. Some people don't bother to proof read the passages they write, hence the many typing errors. But who cares, when they are very often hilarious.
