I suppose you meant longest?
It's pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. 45 letters. But according to Wikipedia, it depends on what constitutes an English word.

I asssume that by 'biggest' you mean 'longest'. The longest word in the dictionary is floccinaucinihilipiliphication (I'm not absolutely sure of the spelling). It means 'the action of considering something to be worth no more than the value of a fig', so if I say, 'I floccinoccinihilipiliphicate you', that is a rather unusual insult. The second-longest word in the dictionary is antidisestablishmentarianism, which has something to do with the Christian church. In fact there are longer words which are medical terms, but they don't really count as English - you can't use them unless you've got the disease!

Floccinihilipilification is, I think, the longest word in the Oxford Unabridged English dictionary. The funny thing is, it means something of little or no value..."trifling."

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagunga... in Massachusetts. not likely English despite the fact that it quite is interior the U. S.. We have been instructed it quite is a popularity the Indians gave it, and it skill, "You fish on your element, I fish on my element, and no one fish interior the middle." different than that, the sole different long word i've got ever heard is from the action picture Mary Poppins "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

"Floccinaucinihiliphilipication" is the longest word in the dictionary. It means the act of estimating something as worthless. Please check my spelling. You must find this word in a Webster's Dictionary (not pocket dictionaries).

It used to be "antidisestablishmentarianism", but I am sure there's a longer one now...
