It would take a lecture just to say the longest word :lol:

My favorite word is up there, Antidisestablishmentarianism, was told it back in the high school days, never forgotten it since!

How about interdenominationalisticalities ? That's 31 letters and means 'having to do with or pertaining to interdenominational things'. I believe a form of the word was once used in a book.

I would agree with "Some professional dictionary writers regard generic names of chemical compounds as verbal formulae rather than as English words" and my word is larger than the last 4 listed. And any of those at AskOxford: What is the longest English word?

A coined word is one that you make up and start using. As an example, I have coined "teratask" to mean "multitask" with a large quantity of tasks. I felt multitask just didn't convey a large enough quantity. You won't find teratask in any dictionary, however -- well, yet anyway!
