english vocab
hey i was checking out some big/confusing words before and i was wondering-what are the biggest/most confusing words you know or just some words that are like-- if you used them in english at school you would get an A+

i think the biggest english word is either antidisestablishmentarianism or Floccinaucinihilipilification (both of them are spelled right XD)
the second one im not so sure its actually english

Technically not included in the English language since its a scientific term, and thus would come, under anything, as Latin.

And also, I'm sure if I wrote "The phantasmagoria intervened with my choreography. By finalization, the inconclusive results had my performance sanctioned", I would NOT get an A+. Hell, I doubt many people would understand it.

Hecks, kudos to those who know what floccinaucinihilipilification means, without doing a freakin' web search. And also, what kind of topic the word is useful in.
Q = QUAKER OATS
Three rules of Q - 1. Qegola and Quarantine both start with Q. 2. There is no U in Qegola. 3. Qegola is you new god.

So a man walks into a bar with a monkey. I forgot the rest of the joke but your mom is a whore.

No, floccinaucinhilipilification means "the act of deprecation".
So it doesn't mean worthless, it means saying something is worthless.
I r teh mastar.
Also, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniousis is the longest legit word in the english language.
It was in the oxford english dictionary, and the other thousand or so letter long words aren't even really words, they are just transliterated molecular descriptions.
Sure, I could do the same thing with the human genome, it would probably be longer.
Also, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiousis (it can be spelled either way) is a kind of lung disease generally occurring in miners as the result of inhalation of a fine silica dust of a volcanic nature. Sorta like black lung, except black lung just coats your lungs, kinda like tobacco tar without the cancer. This stuff is like inhaling a cloud of flechettes.

(no, i didn't look any of this up.)
