princeshoko Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm thinking of the longest word I know. Hint: Its around 40-49 letters long. And yes I learned this from a book a long long time ago. Rules 1: Guess the longest word I know and win a coin. 2: You also have to tell me what it means in lay-mans terms. 3: You only have 7 days! Ends November 21st at 10pm cst. This isnt supose to be easy. In fact I want this to be a real CONTEST. Search the web, search the net. Can you guess my word? You dont even have to spell it right, just come close and to a point that I know you know what I know ! I minted 13 (ONLY ) of my Unity Coins in copper. I have 10 left. The Winner will get one of these coins. GO! Quote Link to comment

+ModelCitizen Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Is it PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS? (Lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.) Model Citizen - Zero Discipline P.S. By the way, apparently this word was invented for the sole purpose of being a very long word. Edited November 15, 2006 by ModelCitizen Quote Link to comment

+Dr. Whoever Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM Sorry Steve, I thought of that one and it's not even close to enough letters. There is a place in Mass. that has 45 letters, but the made up lung disease is supposedly the longest. Quote Link to comment

princeshoko Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Game Over! I seriously underestamated you people! Winner - CastleMan Word: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis = Lug disease Congrats Guy! Please PM me your mailing address and the coin will ship out to you when they get to me on Tuesday next week. I'll come up with another one of these, perhaps a bit harder next time. I accualy thought this might stump a few. I think 4 people got it but CastleMan had the quickest fingers. Stay Tuned- I will return with another. (and this time it will last more then 10min's) *Walks off mumbleing* PrinceShoko Edited November 15, 2006 by princeshoko Quote Link to comment
+Team chelmo Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I know this isn't the answer but imagine trying to fit this towns name on an envelope, Taumata whakatangi hangokoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu! It's a true place name here in NZ, so keep it in the back of your mind for next time you are thinking of a question for a quiz night or just baffle someone with a random piece of trivia.

+Computer_Hiker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullary, also spelt osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilagininervomedullary, is a term that describes the structure of the human body. The term originated in the novel Headlong Hall by Thomas Love Peacock, where you will also find the similar term osteosarchaematosplanchnochondroneuromuelous. Quote Link to comment

Even with HUGE hint it's "20 questions" everyone gets 20 yes or no type and you can't guess unless you have asked a question before the guess. No peaking at the other forum if you want to play! viz "I am thinking of a cache....which one is it?" Quote Link to comment
