Anitdisestablishmentarianism?

Question

For those of you who are skeptical, this IS a word. Try to define it! Thats right, what does antidisestablishmentarianism mean? (I know it, I just want to see if you do.)
Sorry, Yahoo took away the last few letters, which are ISM. It doesn't even know this is a word.

Answer 2

=), Hope I get the ten points.

Answer 3

The word 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.

Answer 4

Good Morning, DaBoy1414! Without looking it up, just by breaking down the word itself, I would guess that it means being against the norms that society as a whole places on us everyday. Not wanting to be a "part of the crowd"; set apart; being your own person; "marching to the beat of a different drummer" so to speak. Did I come close? I enjoy questions that require some though in answering, thank you...I'll have to look that one up! God bless you:)

Answer 5

It's to be against the removal of the Church of England as the state church (more a 19th century issue when Wales and Ireland ditched the church). Not an issue in Scotland since the Church of England was never recognised here.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

I already did define this word.
Definition; Originally, opposition to the disestablishment of the church of england, now opposition to the belief that there should no longer be an official church in a country.
