It's kind of crazy how the true long words don't appear in the dictionary but in medical and engineering books. xd

Superfluous, for it is imperative to know the superfluous meticulously, for life is so extraneously labyrinthine.
Superfluous isn't really the longest word I know, but my favorite word.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest one I could think of off the top of my head. But I found an even longer one in Guiness World Records 2006.

Red-Chocolate Yami no Hitokiri pneumonultramicroscopiccsiliavolcaniconiosis: Some kind of lung condition that comes from ihaling volcanic dust. I've heard that one too! I can't spell it though, maybe someday! sweatdrop ~ Quote: The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended context, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim. See the separate article for details. The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters (More recent editions of the book have since aknowledged pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis). Defined as "the act of estimating (something) as worthless"

Long words are okay...
I just think that if you use too many of them to sound smart, or just becos' you enjoy to use really long words, you end up sounding like a complete dolt.
