Long Route Syndrome

When someone takes an unusually long route to reach their destination.
Person 1: So i'm gonna cut through 42nd street, back down to 48th, do circles in the parking lot and drive Miss Daisy through this neighborhood.

Person 2: How about you just take a left here and we'll be there?

Person 1: Que?

Person 2: You seriously have Long Route Syndrome.

Short story long

Something that could have been told in a more concise way but is dragged out because the teller doesn't know how to tell a story. It's a play on the annoying clarifier, "Long story short," people use to sum up a digression, which really never seems to be that short anyway. So instead you say the opposite.
So I was walking into the store the other day, I wanted to get some aspirin because I had this massive headache and I walked down aisle four but they only had Tylenol but that doesn't work and I went to the counter and short story long this guy was holding up the store!

Long Island

Midwesteners:
If you ever meet someone from "long island" or "the island", do NOT let them lead you to believe that they are from "the city". Long Island is an outlying suburban area of NY, dont be fooled into believing they live in a cool, hip, "gangsta" high-crime urban area. LI is rural and in the middle of nowhere, it's like this rich little pussy town with lots of dirtyass beaches. THe people are snobs and think they are from the city just because they lived in Floral Park queens until they were 2.
Long Island is a sterile land. It's a joke i laugh when i have to go out there from the city, all the stupid japs and wannabe tough guys from gay upstate places like huntington (that's like 3 hrs from the city)

long lost love

A love that kindled long ago, but never reached it's full potential. That both people felt but may have never communicated fully to the other. That if again found, may truly be the love of a lifetime..
Sarah and Kevin both felt it, but it would be years before they would realize their long lost love.

long ass time

An amount of time so great that it is no longer measurable by units of time and is instead measured by units of assness.
I've been sitting in this traffic jam for a long ass time.

fear of long words

The fear of long words is known as hippopotomonstrosesquippediliophobia.

Basically this is a phobia of long words. And if you've noticed, the phobia itself is a long word. Whoever made this was obviously a jackass.
Fear of long words:
"Do you have any phobias?"
"I have.... well, sir, I'm afraid to say.
