super- “above,” cali- “beauty,” fragilistic- “delicate,” expiali- “to atone,” and docious- “educable,” the sum meaning roughly “Atoning for extreme and delicate beauty while still being highly educable.”
This is the perfect word for Mary Poppins to use, being that she thinks of herself as incredibly beautiful but also extremely intelligent, which makes up for it.”

it means "i sound precocious" ... but only if i say it loud enough!
the correct spelling is "Supercalifragilisticexpialid ocious" (space added to accommodate the unnecessary built-in artificial limitations of Yahoo! Answers), and it's just a fun made-up word intended to make the speaker sound smart.
it is supposed to be the longest word in the world, but it isn't really. the longest english word (last time i checked) is "pneumonultramicroscopicsilico volcanoconiosis" but most people just say "pneumonoconiosis". it's a lung disease, btw.

pretty much nothing....and yet everything. It's a word that has a different meaning for everyone. But mostly just a fun Disney song.
