"You got... SBLOUNSKCHED!"

Several of the made-up words in the Homestar Runner universe feature multiple consecutive consonant clusters. Most of them are formed in Strong Bad Emails and have more consonants than any other real word in the English language, usually making them slightly difficult to pronounce. Most of the consonants are also part of consonant blends. The words strengths and lengths have five consonants in a row, more than any other in the English language.

Examples
