Google is your friend.

Wikipedia is not your friend and makes liars out of all of us!

you can get a wiki that says anything.

wikipedia wrote:Though they grow as high as trees, banana and plantain plants are not woody and their apparent "stem" is just the bases of the huge leaf stalks. Thus they are technically gigantic herbs.

That quote is about the plant....not the banana itself.

wiki-answers is rubbish.

the plant is a herb, and the banana itself is a fruit. it is a fruit because it has the seeds of the plant on the inside, although in commercial bananas they have been bred so that they are really small

If it is the length of the word, you may have Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Which is the fear of long words
I'm reasonably certain you will not find said word in any reputable dictionary.

in other awesome facts.... facetious is the shortest word to feature all 5 vowels in order. One of only 2 I believe so it was always a 50/50 chance.
