it's short for black lung
antidisestablishmentarianism; is this that word?
supercal... or whatever is only 39 letters long, but isn't a real word.

I think that is the longest word in the english language, but if you me to find some longer ones, I have Gray's Anatomy right here. Some latin medical terms will make you pass out.

If you Google the word, that was in my sig, you'll find it has something to do with a disaese of the lungs which you get by inhaling silicon particles...something along those lines.

no way..... WELL! pnuemonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoeconiosis HAS BEEN OWNED!
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be "The One".
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.
