Ever heard of the word floccinaucinihilipilification? It's so long, it might seem German, but I assure you, it's not. What it is however, is the longest non-technical word in the english language (so says Wikipedia and the Guiness Book of World Records).
It is a noun, and it means: "the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation".
For example. My blog is a flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication that I just can't stop.
Second longest word? Antidisestablishmenttarianism.
