Word Play

The word “exaggerated” exaggerates itself by how it’s spelled and how it sounds.

I love it when words sound like themselves.

Or when they exacerbate themselves further like a fear of long words being called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (my youngest’s addition).

Notice it includes “quip” inside itself, as if making fun of its own outrageousness!
