You know what this should be a thing for everyone here. Words are basically magic and powerful. We should do a word of the day thread I think! How about this one:

Prolix - Of long duration.
Long and wordy; extending to a great length; diffuse: as, a prolix oration or sermon.
Indulging in lengthy discourse; discussing at great length; tedious: as, a prolix speaker or writer.
Synonyms Long, lengthy, wordy, long-winded, spun out, prolonged.
Tiresome, wearisome.

First and only seen in a Philip K Dick novel.
