I am just questioning the quaestion which was what is Antiestablishmentarianism, I seem to remember, from somewhere in my brain that the word is Antidisestablishmentarianism. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This a an old word used Old English. Antidisestablishmentarianism originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England. The movement succeeded in England, but failed in Ireland and Wales, with the Church of Ireland being disestablished in 1871 and the Church of Wales in 1920. Antidisestablishmentarian members of the Free Church of Scotland delayed merger with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in a dispute about the position of the Church of Scotland. The term has largely fallen into disuse, although the issue itself is still current

That is a famous word from a quiz show in the fifties that got busted for giving the contestants the answers. It was the 64,000 dollar question! I have not a clue what the word means.
