what is pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis?

Question

I need the definition... Doctors???

Answer 1

The other responses are correct. It is a lung disease and it's also the longest word in the english language. But, the more common name for the disease is Black Lung. And it isn't only from being around volcanos; coal miners get it, too...

Answer 2

Definition of Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanosconiosis

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanosconiosis: Allegedly, "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust." The word was invented by compounding pneumo-(lung) + ultramicroscopic + silicon + volcano + coniosis, from the Greek konis (dust). In fact, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanosconiosis means nothing. It is a factitious and fictitious word that was created as a spoof of the many long run-on terms found in medicine.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanosconiosis is the epitome of the sesquipedalian words with which medicine is, unfortunately, rife. See also: Sesquipedalian.

Don't worry this disease is completely fake. The only pain or ill health you will get is from a sore throat due to saying it.
