"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is from the Mary Poppins movie. The song was written by Richard and Robert Sherman (The Sherman Brothers). The word was a nonsense word they created at camp when they were children.

Mary Poppins.

The word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" seems to pre-date the movie, but language experts have yet to pin down by how much, or what, exactly, it originally meant. An urban myth is growing that it had something to do with Irish (or Scottish) prostitutes. Its use in the movie may have been inspired by a nonsense word the Sherman Brothers learned at summer camp. They remembered having a word that the adults didn't know, and thought the Banks children should have one too.
