The Longest Word in English (Pronounced)

Sagemind says...

I don't care what they say. That's not a word.
- Idiots

What it is, is a string of sounds all having their own meanings strung together like a sentence. It reminds me of medical terminology. There's a reason med terminology is not included in the dictionary, they arn't words so much as they are prefexs, suffexes, nouns, verbs and so on, which, when strung together, form a description of a body part or procedure.

So ya, this the "Chemical" name of titin, the largest known protein. It's basicly a description of the molucular breakdown (or recipee) for the chemical. This has been disputed as even being a word. It's like speaking Latin genus names.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Does anyone else find it funny that the biggest known object in the universe is named 'big dog' (in Latin)?


That's like saying "Isn't it funny that the first ever BATTLE took place in a town called BATTLE? What a coincidence!"

As though they pull names out of a hat and they pull out one that translates to "little penis" and go "oh well, the hat never lies". They called it big dog.

But also, it's the largest known star, i don't think it's the largest known object. That title goes to a very large blob of gases and stars.
