And some are funny for other reasons: irony or recursion:
- abbreviation - very long
- phonetic - not spelled how it sounds
- pentasyllabic -has five syllables
- hipposesquipedalian (also hippomonstrosesquipedalian) - pertaining to (extremely) unnecessarily long words
I have another one for that second list..

- Pretentious
