Longest Word in the English Language (non-medical)
 
Is flauchinauchinihilipilification the longest english word?

I always thought it was antidisestablishmentarism. At least that is what my English professor claimed as he was teaching us about the history of affixes. What a boring class! :)

CardinalSM, I did an internet search for flauchinauchinihilipilification and found no responses. Arya's just going to have to fill us in. :)

It means the act of estimating something as worthless. I wonder who was bored enough to make that word.

Longest city name: Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayuttha yamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniw esmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathit sakkattiyavisanukamprasit otherwise known as Bangkok

And longest English word, medical and non-medical is: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses, a lung disease that has something to do with miners
