I was told, in the days of my youth, spent in England, that the longest word in the English language was antidisestablishmentarianism.
"Opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England."
England had the language first, so it would be proper that they are parochial about it.
There was once a member of Chronicles who had that word as his moniker.Let's see if we can push the forum's typographical capabilities, just a whimsy. This Japanese word is one that I collected while still working at HBJ …
つじぎり (rōmaji tsujigiri, literally crossroads killing)
noun
1. The killing of a chance passerby on the road at night, in order to test the sharpness of a sword or to improve one's skill.
Imagine seeing that casually used in a sentence on the page ha ha. It's brutal in every sense.Floccinaucinihilipilification: the act of estimating something as being worthless
