This is from Mary Poppins.
The meaning is something to say when you want to sound precocious, or smart. That's what the song says.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
adj. A word from the Disney film production of the book Mary Poppins describing any quality that is so indescribable that you have no real word to say it with.
"It's Supercalafragilisticexpia lidocious, even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious, if you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious, supercalifragilisticexpia lidocious!

The meaning is in the lyrics to the song. After the fifth time that you sing it through completely, you'll suddenly realize what it is.

well its from the song of Mary Poppins..
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me aching nose
The biggest word you've ever heard
And this is how it goes:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
He traveled all around the world
And everywhere he went
He'd use tis word and all would say:
"There goes a clever gent"
When dukes refused to pass the time of day with me
I'd say me special word
And then they'd offer a cup of tea!
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
You know, you can say it backwards
Which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus,
But that's going a bit to far,
Don't you think?
Indubitably!
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Here, here!
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it may change your life
Um, for example?
Yes?
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!
Oh, and a lovely thing she is to!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
yours is misspelled...
it does have a meaning actually...
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a combination of different words...
super which means "above or great"
cali means "splendor"
fragilistic means "delicate"
expiali means "to agree"
docious can be described as "educable"
this word in my own point of view indirectly means "to agree for educability in such a use of great delicate beauty"...
"dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus" can also be seen in the lyrics.. it's just the backward version of the previous word...

It's a made-up word, from the 1960's movie MARY POPPINS!

Hello? It's not from "The Sound of Music," it's from "Mary Poppins," but you're right there's no meaning...
