__X__Naomi__X__ Is there a phobia for long words? That's what Princess was commenting about being ironic... PrincessPeachy Hehe, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. How ironic, all 37 letters of it. That's the fear of long words or something.

My Biology teacher told my class there was a word that was amazingly long.
I think it was the name of a cell of some sort.
he showed us the first seventy-something letters of it.
He didn't have the rest I suppose.

I guess it depends on what dictionary you're looking at, but I think it's floccinaucinihilipilification.

Yes, it's a protein. Although, anyone looking to invent the longest word would only have to add one more amino acid to the sequence, right? I'm not sure it should count as the longest word since it has no (dictionary) definition, and is a scientific word, not based on origins or root words of any kind.
The word is disputed at best, not a word at all at worst.
Speaking of long words, though, why is "abbreviation" such a long word? The irony astounds me.

Although it isn't in the dictionary (and couldn't compete with that protein burning_eyes ), the city of Bangkok's real name is really, really long. It's more than one word, but worth a mention (why? 'Cause it's interesting). into-asia.com In the official English romanisation, this is certified as the longest place name in the world in the Guinness book of records. It's pronounced something like: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit Yes, I know it doesn't count as an english word. But it's still cool.

Speaking of long words, though, why is "abbreviation" such a long word? The irony astounds me.True. Technically, someone (with ungodly patience) could make the longest 'word' by infinitely stringing those together. So almost no Dictionary documents it as the longest word. Or even any word for that matter. And that long one with 'volcan' in it means a lung disease caused by inhalation of volcanic ash. But like with the wall of the word, it could be infinite. So, the longest 'real' word is antidistablishmentarienism (did I spell it right? oo; ).
