Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - the word supposedly coined by Mary Poppins to make kids sound “precocious,” was actually invented by turn-of-the-century Scottish coal miners. It was used to request “the works” from prostitutes by men too shy to recite specific acts.
hmmm.....i noticed the word is being edited, strange. I have put the whole word there, but it leaves out the "cious" How weird!
Super cali fragilistic expiali docious - there....now put it all together!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is the 34-lettered song title from the 1964 movie Mary Poppins. As a song title, it is a proper noun, but the word, and variations, has entered the English language as an adjective and an adverb. It is one of the longest words in the English language. According to the Sherman Brothers, the word was created by them when they were boys at summer camp.

No, and no. It has entered into English as a result of the movie though.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosises is the longest proper word.

No and no.
It should be supercalifragilistickexpialadocious.
...I think.
Repeating, because neither edit or modify allow me to complete the word: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Weird is right.
