I appear to have got away with calling Monty a bumder
So I will share with you my favourite long word that I use to annoy people.

Defenestration. The act of chucking someone through a window.

What long words amuse you?

Alt Q - if you were a Bond villain(ess), what would your signature death move be?

defenestration is a word that amuses me too
moreover, I just finished reading a book where someone says it.

I would construct a world, much like the one in that Jim carrey film I've forgotten the name of, and make my minions have plastic surgery to look like my victims friends and family. Things would go along as normal for a while until the victim notices that everything is getting smaller and smaller. It would involve rebuilding the entire set periodically and finding some midgets and finding a plastic surgeon who's not afraid to operate on midgets. Eventually the victim finds himself a giant among men (midgets) and has the power goes to his head his entire tiny family and friends turn on him and eventually in a wickerman move burn him to death whilst having a massive carnaval in celebration of my evil genius

Every time bond was watching his favourite TV programme
I'd phone him up. He'd say "What'sh up?" and I'd be all "Oh, nothin'. Just wanted a chat." and then we'd have a really awkward conversation full of drawn out pauses.

Then, when he'd go to the cinema to see the latest film, I'd sit next to him eating sweets really loudly. I'd get the table next to him in restaurants and tell off colour jokes in a loud voice through the course of his meal. I'd pick up the last item that he wanted on the shelf of a supermarket. At every time in his life where he wanted or needed something, I'd be there to ruin it. And, eventually, the stress for him would be so immense, so consuming, that he'd jump off a tall building.

And, after he had splatted to the floor, he would look up and see me, standing over him. With his dying breath, he would say "Did you expect me to talk?" and I would say "NO MISTER BOND! I EXPECTED YOU TO FLY!"

Killed by a crap pun, you cunt. Superior Evil.
