Wolfie Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 What does antidisestablishmentarianism mean? The definition is as follows: “Properly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, but popularly cited as an example of a long word.” Catching the irony here? The longest word in the first OED (Oxford English Dictonary) was 29-letter floccinaucinihilipilification (the categorizing of something as worthless or trivial). The longest in the OED2, usually cited as the longest word in any English dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (a miners' lung disease caused by inhaling silica), 45 letters. Some scholars, however, deride this word as "made up," and declare '"floccinau...'" to be the champ. And, of course, there are some hippopotomonstrosesquipidelian (30 letters, means "long") words in specialized fields, especially chemistry, where they apparently just tack on another few letters every time they rewrite the textbooks.
