WordsWorth or shud it be WordsWorst???

Unoriginal stuff...
But hey some people in this world are really patient and jobless...
And they need their moment under the sun....for the invention of words like these...

Floccinaucinihilipilification

It means "the estimation of something as worthless."

Examples:

I loved him for nothing so much as his floccinaucinihilipilification of money.
--William Shenstone, Letters

They must be taken with an air of contempt, a floccinaucinihilipilification of all that can gratify the outward man.
--Sir Walter Scott, Journal



Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis which has 45 letters. It's a disease that miners in Africa came down with from getting silicon slivers in their lungs.



Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, a village in Wales. This name is given in full on the railway station. The local people do not bother to say the name in full. They refer to it as Lannfair PG.

However, there is a place with an even longer name in New Zealand. It is the name of a hill. Here it is: This is not in English though but in Maori
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiw en uaitnatahu.

But if you just want long words, the usual response is antidisestablishmentarianism, and this can be found in most dictionaries.

The longest word in the dictionary containing no letter more than once is "smiley." (There is a mile between the first and last letter.)

Chemical name for the "Tryptophan Synthetase" protein is however, the longest official word ever (1,913 letters) with the formula C1289H2051N343O375S8
