T-Rex: The best words MIGHT be autological words, you guys!
T-Rex: These are words that describe something that also describes the word itself!
T-Rex: For example, the word "short" is itself short, and the word "multisyllabic" has more than one syllable in it. Soooo crazy!
Dromiceiomimus: And the word "understandable" is itself understandable, so it's self-describing and therefore autological too!
T-Rex: Just like "2oig3nt2as2y" which is a word I just made up that means "annoying to say"!
Utahraptor: There's the opposite too: heterological words that DON'T describe themselves, like "long"!
T-Rex: Neat!
Utahraptor: So is "heterological" heterological?
T-Rex: Well if it IS, then it's self-describing, which means autological. And if it ISN'T, then it's autological again too. Huh. If this paradox is supposed to make me trip balls, you should know I've taken the precaution of having them TIGHTLY SECURED.
Narrator: LATER:
Off panel: Hey, who put all my balls in the closet? And then tied the closet handle shut, and then attached a note that reads "NEVER AGAIN >:|"?
T-Rex: Sir, calm down!
T-Rex: You can thank me whenever!!
