the word for the fear of words (i can't rember it at the moment) cracks me up. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is 45 letters long. It's a lung disease contracted by miners in Africa when silver dust or something gets into their lungs. I also found a REALLY long name of a village in Wales...if that counts. It's: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogoch It is 56 letters and means "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio of the red cave." Well, just thought I would leave these here for y'all to see. posted by cherryfaerie |

hey allone, I am a new user here and I am afraid to interfere you but 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' is dismissed as not a "real" word. It also divides into two words, "supercalifragilistic" and "expialidocious", because "-ic" is a common suffix rather than an infix, and in the movie it was pronounced with a /k/ sound rather the /s/ sound one would expect from a C followed by an E. But we can include Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastinmotivatingoodbuzzincoolta-lkinhighwalkinfastlivinevergivincoolfizzin or known as Pepsi. If you can't accept that well maybe Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronn- tuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk or acquesalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic. 
Beat those words, plllllss?
