Mehrzweckflugzeugausschreibung.

I love that word.

I could say it all day long.

Mehrzweckflugzeugausschreibung. Mehrzweckflugzeugausschreibung. Mehrzweckflugzeugausschreibung.

Translates roughly to "Multi-purpose fighter advertisement."

Mehrzweckflugzeugausschreibung.

That's my word of the day. I love the German language.

I also like to say "Yucca Flats" and "Ricardo Montalban".

PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOKONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.

This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as the act of estimating (something) as worthless, its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741.

Lordy, that's enough to make anybody stutter!
