Omnihyperpologizingexpealidocious
Free-ranging multidirectional constant apologizing for everything (commonly known in the Midwest as OHP {pronounced ‘oop’} )
Dharrsheena woke with a start to find, of all things, a singing Mary Poppins standing at the foot of her bed, belting out a new version of a familiar tune.
Omnihyperpoligizingexpealidocious
Now you know the the word for it! you know it's not psychosis-
Even just defining it will help you find your locus-
Not merely omnihyperpoligizingexpealidocious!
Fixing her eyes meaningfully on Dharrsheena, she began to gamble about the room with a beckoning nod and, brandishing the umbrella, hit the chorus with an emphatic:
Oop-diddle iddle iddle Oop-diddle-aii!!
Oop-diddle iddle iddle Oop-diddle-aii!
Dharrsheena pulled the blanket about her shoulders and thought about making a run for the door. That thought was quickly quashed by the appearance of ten tiny chimneysweeps that popped out of the still glowing laptop on her bedside table.
With maniacal grins and horrific accents they swirled around the magical nanny and joined in the next verse:
Omnihyperpoligizingexpealidocious
Overly apologetic people just provoke us
Then the urge to reassure feels liable to choke us
When they're omnihyperpoligizingexpealidocious!
As the chimneysweeps accelerated their dance and swooped dangerously closer and ever closer to her, Dharrsheena wondered if the cause was the extra serving of nachos she'd eaten as she read Vocal posts, or the lighthearted challenge she's left on Judey's Challenge entry.
Either way, she mused throwing off the covers and joining in the chorus, this was a heck of a dream and it was time to sing.
Oop-diddle iddle iddle Oop-diddle-aii!!
Oop-diddle iddle iddle Oop-diddle-aii!

This was a fun story that had me both singing and laughing. Well done, Judey!
Time to sing, indeed. No apologies needed.
I feel like this is a universal issue! I loved this so much 🌟
Nachos! 🤣
Supercaligragilisticespialidocious. Simplyperfectineveryway.
Ahh Judey! What fun and brilliance 🩷🩷 this really made me smile to read 💕💕
This was so freaking hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm never eating nachos again, lol! That word was definitely a mouthful! You are brilliant! Thank you so much for that word and story!
Cute and clever!
Yep this will be stuck in my head all day today! Constantly in awe of your cleverness, Judey. What fun!
Absolutely wonderful! Great word, catchy tune.
Loved this! Had to nod to the music in my head!
Ok, I needed that laugh more than you can know. Thank you Judey and Dharrsheena. Now off I go with a catchy little tune in my head.
I love this! Plus, what a great way to learn a new word - through song!
Excellent word, probable top story, great to find inspiration like that
Thank you for the Ear worm Judey. Lol Love this creative, fun, and well written story.
This was fun. I've kinda' been waiting for someone to use those last um - 14 letters.
The fact that this was the biggest, yet easiest mouthful one could ever say just shows how true and relatable this story is. 🤣🤣🤣
Delightful!!!
Just brilliant!
*fighting urge to start comment with “sorry”* 🤣🤣 this is hilarious!!
Simply wonderful!! I sure hope Dharrsheena appreciates this as much as I do!!🤣🤣 I know not everyone has seen Mary Poppins.❤️🌹❤️ Oops, did I say that? I don't believe I have any trouble with Omnihyperpologizingexpealidocious😉 It can be irritating for me when a group member apologizes repeatedly for taking over the group!🤣 As maybe I have let it go too long, as then I can sit back and relax and not do my job??🤣🤣 I would rather they not point that out with an apology!
Omg. This is fabulous. What a joy to read. Well done, indeed.
Im from Milwaukee and we definitely do that. “Sorry if you have a different idea,but…” “Sorry to hear youre having a bad day” “Sorry but I can walk through (you people rudely blocking me)” when i lived on the east coast was “hurry up” “coming through” but usually with a smile,
Love this, Ms Judey. This is great. Dharrsheena will just be tickled pink.
Very cute and I enjoyed this creative piece
