Ok, I know this will sound stoopid, but I went and typed the above word into google, and this is what I found.

It is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word."

I always wanted to be able to pronounce that one without a flaw. Seems like a good way to impress girls. I mean, guys.

[ellanoize]

That might be so Lefty, but its a damn hard word to work into a conversation.

How would you use that in a sentence?

That's the most supercalifragilisticexpialidotious haircut I've seen in years.

*SLAP*

Wait, Mrs. Poppins!

Anyway, I always get to supercalifragilistic, but I mess up with the expialidotious part. I can't get expiali out of my mouth.

Is that a Dutch thing???
