New long word ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM #1 (permalink) Sat Sep 30, 2006 10:44 am   New long word ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM		  
Hi,

My little funny has been cracked. Now then what about a genuine example of the longest word. Anyone ready to have a crack as to its meaning?

ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM and you could also stick LIKE on the end if you wish.

Definitely, that 'ISM' should be something opposite to DISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM Smile

Hi!

I wonder whether that word really exists? I mean, for me it sounds double negativ: Anti_dis_establishmentarianism, doesn?t it?

You'll have to forgive my contemptuous floccinaucinihilipilification of your word, Alan, but it can't rival 'mine', I'm afraid: pneumo­noultra­microscopic­silico­volcano­coniosis (a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease). Rolling Eyes

Ah, but can you say it, Conchita? Laughing

At least antidisestablishmentarianism is pronounceable. Very Happy

Right, saying it is another matter altogether! Still, it's a piece of cake as compared to memorizing it! Smile

An honest, humble and concise definition if there ever was one (for such a pretentiously grandiloquent thing)!

Hi,

OK I'll shut up although I'd still like an explanation of what must now be regarded as my pathetic little word.
