Post the long or longest English words you know and their meanings. None should be less than 15 letters. I start with this: Floccinaucinihilipilification.Means the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.

The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was first added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 1986.[5] A well known feghoot indirectly makes reference to this word, by affirming that Mahatma Gandhi was a "super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis".[

'LONGEST' is undeniably the 'longest' English word in the English Dictionary. How can some other word be longer than 'LONGEST'?:wink:

Longer than Longest would be INFINITY!
Longest is still measurable.... infinity can't be measured.

If something is 'longer' than 'longest', then 'longest' will never have any valid meaning, in the true sense of the term. Besides, how can something be 'longer' than the thing that has been concluded to be 'longest'?think

"BUT" and "IF"

seems to be the longest words in human life.

They are so effective to make time longer, have the powers to delay events, good times, good news and what not.


On seeing the thread I was to open dictionary and comment right BUT..
