Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

What does this word mean? It's common to hear people talk about this word about how to spell it, how many words you can find in it, but what does it mean?

It's just a nonsense word from "Mary Poppins."

So supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was just a made up word that all the sudden a lot of people started to talk about and it got a spelling, I use to think that it was the longest word in the english language, but there are other words longer than it, a lot of the longer ones are diseases.

So, that means it's not really a word but since it's talked about a lot, it has been given a spelling and is included in the list of some of the longest english words?

Super
can you tell us a longer word in English ? I always thought English words, comparing to German words are not too long.

I learnt this long French word :
**anticonstitutionellement**
But of course my French is too poor and there might be longer words.

If "Anticonsitutionellement" is a long word in French, then I would say that French is a language of rather short words, eh?

According to Askoxford.com, the longest word currently in the Oxford English Dictionary is the supposed lung-disease "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" (45 letters) but some editions of the Guiness Book of Records mention "aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic" (52 letters), which is even longer.

By saying that French is a language of short words, I do not mean to say that French is a language of short sentences. Rules of French language construction often result in long-winded sentences with more than enough occasions of "de".

Which word is the shortest word in the english language, a or I? answer, a, because I is spelled with a capital letter.

I'll always remember learning "antidisestablishmentarianism" when I was a little kid.

What about "PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS"?
It is some sort of lung disease and it is a forty-five letters.

Eh? Another redundant post! Bayou Rover, can't you see that I mentioned the exact same word with 45 letters in my entry above?

LOL, forgive me I must've been not focusing on your post as I tend to read first posts only...Well everwhich now...

do prefixes and suffixes count? Because, with them, couldn't many words be of infinite length?

They're can't possibly be an infinitely long word, it wouldn't even be possible to say the word.
