A contender for the longest sentence composed of only 1 word

Post by _SteelHead »

Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump, Trump Trump Trump?

Does it work?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Naw, because that's not a sentence, its a tantrum.

…..umm...….because its a tantrum.
But yes, the said tantrum can be expressed via a sentence as you have done in the OP.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Could you paraphrase?

I read an argument once that “F” is the most versatile word (if you think about it, in one context, Trump = “F”). How about a sentence like:

“F” damned idiots damned screwed damned idiots.

With that sentence, I can kind of work out the parts of speech to make it mean something. I can't really do that with yours. Of course, I'm not using the same word over and over, just the same root word, so that helps to make it meaningful (although it feels like cheating for the sake of the exercise).
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
