    Default Longest word in the English Dictionary...

    Okay guys I'm trying to find out the longest word in the English dictionary and was wandering if you could give me a bit of help?! ^_^

    Remember the word:
    Can't be a name! (Eg.Disease pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis)
    Can't be made up!
    Has to be found in dictionary!

    Okies, well I've searched around on the internet and I've found a few words!

    antidisestablishmentarianism ("opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England")

    floccinaucinihilipilification

    honorificabilitudinitatibus (Which appears in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, and which has been cited as [dubious] evidence that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays)

    See if you can find any longer ones? ^_^
    Have fun, hehe.

    Well...

    supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

    Is found in the Oxford English Dictionairy according to here
    or click: http://dictionary.reference.com/help...ngestword.html

    And it means:

    Main Entry: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
    Part of Speech: adjective
    Definition: a nonsense word meaning fantastic; also called supercalifragilistic
    Etymology: popularized by the movie `Mary Poppins'

    I also noticed you said no place names but....

    Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch - Is the longest place name and it's from wales according to the site above.

    ol: ol: ol: Or perhaps smiles is the longest word — after all, there is a mile between the first letter and the last. ol: ol: ol:

    I used to live in Llanfairpwllgwynqyllgogerychwrydrobwllllantysiliog ogogoch. The train station was so long coz the had to fit on the name . But! she said it can be a name of anything so I think that includes villages. All I know it means something to do with a church near a well and a cave or something like that :p
    If there is a person that looks in your eyes
    and say For you that they would die,
    Well grab them by the arm,
    look at them striaght,say
    If you did would you wait at the gate?
    If they say yes coz they love you,
    look at them sweetly and say
    I love you too!

    Talking lol

    There's so many letters involved that it's too much for my Brain to handle, and too hard to figure out how they actually fit.
    The longest word that i would probably think of, off the top of my head is -

    Onomatopoeia

    (a word that is read like it sounds -eg- 'Crash', 'Bang', 'Smack')
    *^My Chemical Romance^*

    *^*^*^*Sash*^*^*^*

    :rolleyes: *+*So Long & Good Night*+* :rolleyes:

    ""Spirit & Nothing More""
