A rhopalic is a literary phrase( poetry or prose) in which each word has one more letter than the previous word. For example:
I DO NOT KNOW WHICH TURKEY SMELLED
WHERE PHILIP STARTED
I GO AND TAKE LEAVE...
I AM ALL VERY RIGHT THANKS...
AN ICY COLD NIGHT ISABEL VANISHED
(THESE ARE DMITRI BORGMANN´S CLASSIC EXAMPLES) :
I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalises intercommunications’ incomprehensibleness!
I am not very happy acting pleased whenever
prominent scientists overmagnify intellectual enlightenment,
stoutheartedly outvociferating ultrareactionary retrogressionists,
characteristically unsupernaturalizing transubstantiatively
philosophicoreligious incomprehensiblenesses anthropomorphologically.
Pathologicopsychological!
