Sesquipedalianist

'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis' is the longest word.
'go.' is the shortest complete sentence.
'poppysmic' is the noise produced with smacking of the lips.
'quidnunc' is a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip.

and 'sesquipedalianism' is having an impressively thorough vocabulary or knowledge of a language, but feeling the need to illustrate that to all persons with which one comes into contact.
