Riddles, real ones

[sabinati]

Two men walk into a bar. Both order the same drink prepared the same way.
One man guzzles his drink (thirsty fool); the other drinks slowly.
The former lives, the latter dies.
Why?

it went to his head?

Nope, still looking for an answer for this one.

former kills latter

What's the longest word in the English language?

is it only my country that too many people know the answer to this and does not count it as a riddle any more?

depends on the answer.

Id also say the one about two guys walking into a bar isnt one, but it has a witty and (in a fantasy settings sense) good answer, and I like the image of a dwarf guzzling a mug of tasty booze while on fire.

Grass, you're a filthy liar.

What's the longest word in the English language?

Hahahaha, you got me.

the classic answer would be antidisestablishmentarianism, but there are actually names of molecules or even hypothetical compounds that are much, much longer.

I guess the answer depends on what your threshold for a "word" is.

[sabinati]

nah man, it's language

[Tonkyhonk]

oh gosh, nil doesnt know the answer. english teachers here always give that *riddle* to the students though.
... maybe i should change my question to "my prefecture" instead of my country, so probably not so famous

[niltrias]

nah man, it's language

That only works if it is spoken. If it is written, it needs to have quotation marks to nominalize "the English language"

[sabinati]

but that would make it entirely obvious

[niltrias]

So basically, it is like my riddle? Ok, I can live with that.

[sabinati]

i didn't really get yours. what wheels?
