The Sesquipedalian Society emerged in its current form in 1985 during a fit of logogoguery(being 'agogue' over words) by the Founder *. Under a Pickwickian spell of merriment, an afflatus penetrated through the ether upon first encounter with the word "sesquipedalia". Another Dickensian influence was the loquacious Mr. Micawber and his epic struggles with impecunity.
