Or at least that's what it sounds like. The word hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic is actually the title of a song by the late and famous American singer, Isaac Hayes, which was released in 1969.

The well-spoken athlete made Mzansi laugh at the interaction and try to find out what mystery word the runner used. Check out the comments below:
