Phantasmagorical.
Heck, no.How many of you actually say the word you mentioned regularly?
Phantasmagorical.
Heck, no.How many of you actually say the word you mentioned regularly?
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
We've used the same two long words forever. A pox on antidisestablishmentarianism and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniosis!
Floccinaucinhilipilification: The categorization of something worthless or trivial.
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian: Pertaining to a very long word. (The fear of long words is Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaphobia.)
Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggcgaubunagungamaugg: A Native American name for a lake in Massachusetts. The name means "You fish on your side; I fish on my side; nobody fish in the middle."
And if everyday is your thing, there's always inappropriateness, incomprehensibilities, and disinhibitionalness.
P.S. Don't forget this 1,913 letter corker. It's an enzyme with 267 amino acids.

I used to know how to spell a word for some Greek soup that was 250 letters long. I can still pronounce it (not correctly, but phonetically), but probably not spell it. I memorized it in 3rd grade.
