As many words as I read, this is still my favorite.
PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS
And no, I didn't have to look that up to spell it- the sad thing is that I know it by heart.
First, it's the longest word in the dictionary.
Second, it's a lung disease that you get from inhaling volcanic ash.
Moral of the story: don't go sucking in all that air the next time you are around a volcano, or you might get a disease that you can't pronounce.
