Antidisestablishmentarianism
noun : to be against the idea of having a national religion/church "Isn't antidisestablishmentarianism the longest word in the dictionary?" Actually, floccinaucinihilipilification is the longest non-technical word (with 29 letters), but it was made up as a joke so that it simply COULD be the longest word. Antidisestablishmentarianism is #2 with 28 letters. |
