I'm a tournament Scrabble player, so I've been exposed to lots of examples.
My personal favorite (and it's a legal Scrabble word) is "ololiuqui". That's not a typo. It's a plant native to Mexico, has hallucinogenic properties, used since the time of the Aztecs for religious ceremonies.
A computer once played it against me in a game (through the LO, it supplied the other 7 letters). Just about fell off my chair, because computers don't make stuff up, so I had to research this stupid word for my own curiosity.
One more time: OLOLIUQUI. *shudder*
