Who knows a very long word and its meaning -?

Question

I have a very clever friend who has a THING with words - I want to surprise him with a word that he may not know - thank you

Answer 1

Not sure of the spelling at all, so i'll just spell it phonetically:
flockinockineehillypilla facation. There's no space ikn it but for some reason yahoo cut it off and just finished it with a dot dot dot, so that's what i have to do. It means knowing more than you need to know...like knowing your parents have sex. You know it... but you don't NEED to know it.
Bet he doesn't know this one!
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

He may know these if he likes long words but try:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis which was supposed to mean a lung disease, though was discovered to be a hoax.

Another is floccinaucinihilipilification which means the act of estimating something as worthless.

You might find the wikipedia information interesting. Lots of long words included. Have fun!

Answer 3

Antitransubstantiationalist:ONe who doubts the validity of transubstantiation.

Floccinaucinihilipilifiction: the estimation of a thing as worthless.

Pheumonoultramicroscopicsilicobolcanoconiosis: This word is 45 letters and its definition is a lung disease caused by breathing in certain particles. (i hope i spelling that right..)

Sumptuous: Luxurios, splendid

Answer 4

Onomatopoeia (awna-mata-pee-a) is always a good one. Like click-clack. It actually sounds like the word.
"In rhetoric, linguistics and poetry, onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that employs a word, or occasionally, a grouping of words, that imitates the sound it is describing, and thus suggests its source object, such as "bang" or "click", or animal such as "moo", "quack" or "meow"."
And "onomatopoeia" is a good one because it's not as commonly known as some other big words.

Answer 5
