Big word of the day

Mineralocorticcoid ;its the thing in your body that maintains the salt balance

 

No wonder I'm so fat with something that long in my body.

 

For big words (in English) I think you can't go past ........ disestablishmentarianism

 

(Welsh) (and from memory) :-
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
I learnt to spell this as a kid and have never forgotten it means something like: St Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fast whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio of the red cave.
Actually invented when the railway got there 150 yrs ago to give it the longest place name.

 

^^^ I used to spend a lot of time in N Wales and learned to say it too

 

Antidisestablishmentarianism

 

Big words no doubt but was does it mean

 

"the movement or ideology that opposes disestablishment"

 

^this used to be the longest word...assume it still is.

 

There are a couple of longer ones.
There are only 2 long words which don't repeat a single letter.

 

Optometrists .



Is a big word .what defines a big word. I reckon it has to be 10 letters or more

 

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious another useless word I learnt to spell as a kid and still remember.
Can't remember where I put my glasses though!

 

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - its a lung disease but it also stops you saying it

 

Doesn't sound that nice, even though I can't read it let alone attempt to say it
