Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

su·per·cal·i·frag·i·lis·tic·ex·pi·al·i·do·cious

[soo-per-kal-uh-fraj-uh-lis-tik-ek-spee-al-i-doh-shuhs] Show IPA
adjective
(used as a nonsense word by children to express approval or to represent the longest word in English.)
 
Now, just because i said supercalifragilisticexpialidocious doesn't give ANY of you to start singing. or dancing. or humming. its time to get serious. the reason why the word this time is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (thats gonna get annoying to type) is not because i've been watching Mary Poppins, or i've been using sugar to make it easier to inject myself with a narcotic (that was a joke. more specifically a reference to the song "just a spoon full of sugar" from the musical), but because of the definition. a nonsense word with another definition. think about it. sense means its logical, all the pieces fit, be non means it doesn't. so it doesn't make sense, or doesn't have any logical structure. So it defies logic. Its official, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a miracle word, since it breaks the laws of logic and nature.
