I believe that is the longest word in the English language - though a Welsh train station name may be longer.
I am not certain I would like to see that particular dog cross.

Andrew said...

Can people be floccinaucinihilipilification? I can think of a few.
I think chihuahund would be better than chiweenie.

One does not need to ponder or reflect, to contemplate or consider, to evaluate or assess, to know with certainty that the government in Washington is the very definition of floccinaucinihilipilification.

Jeanie said...

Yikes. I can't even pronounce that one!

Jamie Ghione said...

I can't begin to say that word! It sounds like something from "Mary Poppins"!

Birgit said...

I dare you to sing it backwards...lol. I can't help it..the Rump and his minions are this word. The person who created this word must have taken a cue from German. They love long, long words.

Truedessa said...

Haha I am not sure I could pronounce that word properly.

D.L. Finn said...

I tried to say the word, but not sure how close I came.. lol. I've read a book or two like that recently as well. I like the crossbreed name! Xo
