It also appeared in a spelling bee that I once did. Another similar word is 'bourgeois'.

This will probably come up in a spelling competition, since it is not very long and the meaning isn't that scientific or medical.

It's very hard to spell. i don't think this would be spelled in a spelling competition right?

i dont think that is a word,..

some words are combinations of other words, dude. es, this is a word, a technical one. but i don't agree it's hard to spell -- it's just effin' long. it means 'resembling human body'

Are you sure that is a word

maybe these words are combination of medical terms I guess... osseos---( which means bone maybe) sanguine--(fluid) visceral cartilage nerve medulla oblangata

i don't believe that this is a word

i don't think that is a word,if it is really a word what is the exact meaning of this word?are you all taking words seriously?

what kind of word IS THIS?

nc

both are right. shamee as in the cloth sham-moo-ah as in the animal

THIS WORD SOUNDS FUNKY

sha-mee as in the cloth, sha-mwah as in the animal

Its pronounced: Sham-wow!

shamee..... means a mountain goat in europe

chamois is pronounced as(not pronunced)sham-wah and sham-mi.

wew.... i like how you guys pronunce the word......

yahh..!!it's sounds so easy but so hard to spell..

oxford says shamwah or shamee

No as what websters says, it's pronouncedas "sha-mee". not sha-moo-ah

the right way to say it is: "sha-moo-ah"

Are you sure that this is the true pronunciation.. i am a veteran in pronunciation the pronunciation of obloquy is /'ob'lo-kuy/

It's ob la kwi !

obloquy means to abuse while talking

what is the correct pronounciation

i don't think it is oboquy i think it is obloquoy...

yeah. what does this mean?

whats the meaning of obloquy?

that is not how to pronounce it. It is ob-bla-kwi

This word is so easy to spell! It was on one of my spelling tests and I got it correct.

this is weird word

It means rubber in French... These past words have all been French (adopted by the English language-English has adopted many words from many languages;Greek/ Latin roots?)

i think thats not a word

it's fun to spell that word!!

well it's not that difficult....

wat

ya itz pronounced cow-chook, which is difficult enough, but it also means something as simple as rubber. I always have wondered why the english language is so extremely intricate.

To long to remeber how to spell it

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.'"[1] A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis. It occurs chiefly as an instance of a very long word.[2] The 45-letter word was coined to serve as the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary. It is listed in the current edition of several dictionaries.[3]

its not hard to spell .. u need to memorize only the sequence of that word ....

its not that hard to spell

Effin' spelled wrong. It's koniosis.

I have known how to spell this for a while pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis without looking because I found it in the dictionary

itsso easy..

great word...

it's not really that hard..

What it's mean?

i know it, its easy

MEANING--- a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs

why exactly is the exact same word here again?

i did not get this word did you make it by your own this word.just tell me the meaning

You can spell it as Pneumono-ultramicroscopic-silico-volcano-coniosis

It's definitely pronounced as Kee, I'm from Sydney and Circular Quay is a well known place

both pronunciation are correct: kee or kwah

`Kee is the real pronunciation of the word Quay...

No!

I encountered this word when we went to Singapore. There's a place called Clarke Quay and a friend told me that the right pronunciation was "klark kee" .

its the very first time i've met this word

yeah i think itz kee, but that makes no sense whatsoever considering the spelling...

it means a kind of soup which is always served cold

actually its very easy just memorize it plz addthe definition thx (:

oh! what a pronunciation is this! -je21

fear????..oh

Funny word but not real, I read it in some book.

It literally means fear of long words!

ahm it's only HIP-PO-PO-TO-MON-STRO-SE-QUI-PE-DA-LIO-PHO-BIA

Spelling is dead wrong ! its - HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUEPPIDALIOPHOBIA

maybe I have this kind of phobia...i will never try to spell it :)

yes, i agree 2 the one whom i preceeded...

something is wrong but i dont get it

it is the fear of long words

What does it actually mean? x

i think itz pronounced hip-oh-mahn-stroh-ses-kwi-peh-dae-lee-oh-foh-bee-uh phew...that is a mouthful

if a person has a fear of long words,then he's also afraid of his own illness. :))

How do you pronounce that Word?

oh it so very very hard to spell not only to spell also to say

Actually it's "hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia". You added an extra "p".

feleling!!! i am the best speller in the whole planet earth

OMG! still wrong spelling i think..does it have 2 spelling words? xD the spelling i know is "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia".....That's the spelling i know..:D

Wrong. It's cloisonne and pronounced clo-wa-zo-nay

this is pronounced as (kloyzhoney)

this word is cloisonne not cloissone

That's the wrong spelling!!!!!!!

OMG. u spelt it wrong!!!!!!! :3

I remember the song called this, played by Andre Rieu's orchestra. This is classical music! Lol...

wrong spelling!

That is not how you spell it! You spell it supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

...psssshhh, is there even a spelling contest that would add that to their list?hmmm....

It is the incorrect spelling. Also, this isn't officially in the dictionary, therefore is not a word.

do u like mary poppins?:S

To the third comment, its hippopotomonstrosesquippeddaliaphobia.

WTF?!?!?! THAT IS NOT HOW U SPELL IT!!!

This is not really a word, but I am always asked to spell it, but that's really annoying because it's not a word

if mary poppins had hippopotomonoistrosesquedeaophobia, or fear of long words, then she would have had a heart attack after she wrote this

its not actually a word

wow

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!!

it is spelt supercalafragalisticexpialadocious

from mary poppins

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is the right spelling

its wrong the right is "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Yeah, dude, learn to spell these words ... I mean, how do you know it's fun to memorize, if you haven't?

It is popularized from the movie Mary Poppins, there is no meaning of this word, actually.

it means wonderful. but its wrong spelled.

what does it even mean?

it's not superkalafragalisticexpialidosius... it should be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

are you sure its "superkala"?

i think it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ... nah, dunno. But i think that's it.

Simples!

this is the only word i knew among these very difficult word.......... how surprising that its pronunciation is too short!!!!!!

I know how to spell this beacuase i update my netflix queue everyday

I come across this word a lot. I mean like every day a lot.

For my Qualifying Round Elementary Spelling Bee, I was tied for 2nd place finalist to go into the School Spelling Bee. My friend and I were tied and the teacher quizzed us on 10 words...We spelled everything EXACTLY THE SAME except for one word...colonel. My friend spelled it "kernel" and I spelled it "colonel," so I was the one who entered the School Spelling Bee

haha when I first encountered this in 3rd grade I couldn't stop pronouncing it exactly as its spelled

actually,when I encountered this!!! I dont know what is the right spelling of it..

actually the pronunciation should be (ker-nel)

Oh. Right. That I agree with.

it's pronounced tet-a-tet

it's pronounced as teyatei and it means private conversation between two persons.

it means head to head!

I already know that I found it in the dictionary meaning being in private

tete-a-tete is pronounced as tet-ah-tet.

He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology. Many of his writings were in Latin, and his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus Linnæus
