Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon

Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman

Sounds like the guy needs his ashes hauled...

OR

His ash is really in the grinder.

There is a lake here in Massachusetts called..

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg

....or he caught it second-hand from some ashhole.

(Hopefully this'll work this time)

If the lake is as big as it's name where do the people live? On humungous mats of sea'weed'... ...from the Sargasso?? Holy Smoke!!

Bet you thought I didn't know you just made that up...huh? 

Let me guess.......

It's the sound the colonists first heard when a native drowbned in it.

coulda been Chappaquiddick.......

Welcome to OldeWebster

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, 18^th edition, this 1,909-letter-long word is regarded as the world’s longest word in the English language. This word has also included in the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts. It is the longest real word of a Tryptophan Synthetase (its scientific name is Methionylglutaminy…serine) A protein, an enzyme that has 267 amino acids which describes a protein in the amino acid of a strand of DNA. The shortened version of this protein is known as titin, or sometimes conectin, which is involved in striated muscle formation. Its empirical formula is C₁₃₂₉₈₃H₂₁₁₈₆₁N₃₆₁₄₉O₄₀₈₈₃S₆₉₃.

I do not lie.

I think I may have Hippopotomonstrosequippeddaliophobia.

I would not even attempt to try and read that. Hell...I doubt I could pronounce the damn thing. Holy...bad word. And it's in our DNA? Where did they find room for it??? 

I disagree with it's identity as a 'word'... it has way too many hypens to be a word... it's a name and a name is not necessarily a word...

 ...it has way too many 'hypens'...

Hyphens......you been hangin' out with Zubaz too too long.

Actually, the longest word in the English language is SmileS.

naw, more like.... hy had uh werd an hy pen ad uh werd an hy pen ad uh udder werd an hy pen ad uh udder word....

A year...a month and ten days later is how long it took to say......HUH???

Actually, the term is:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

I wonder what the term will be for the first responders' lung disease caused by the ash/smoke/aerosolized material from the Twin Towers.

And the happiest!

It was a 'well considered' "HUH?".

If that's the longest word is the shortest 'a' or 'be. Could 'be' to, or, no, er.................................................HUH?

The shortest words are "a" and "I"

How can a letter be a word...hmmm. Letters are what makes the words not necessarily in the correct order though.

Sorry, bud... the Wiz is correct. 'a' means 'one', it is an adjective as in:

I built a (one) new house.

"I" is obvious being a pronoun.

Here is another good one:

This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Can anyone actually say it out loud? 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........no.
