  1. Joanthan,
    I have seen the word from the Burger King website.
    “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” comes from a song in 1964 Disney movie version of "Mary Poppins;" subject of a lawsuit based on earlier song title (出自由 Mary Poppins 《歡樂滿人間》, 意思是「棒極了」,「超正」。 It is not a common word to use in formal writing but is used as a nonsense word by children to express approval.
    Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (肺炎) has 45 lettes and is the longest word in English. “Antidisestablishmentarianism” is also a long word in English. I learnt this word from my Religious Studies teacher when I was a secondary school student.
    By the way, hope you enjoy the movie clip. Do you know who the famous actress is? Have you ever "The Sound of Music"?

  2. Joanthan,
    Sorry for missing one word in the last sentence. It should be:
    Have you ever watched 'The Sound of Music'?
