Here is my word. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Meaning fear of long words, which is rather ironic? That word is so hard to use. It either means sarcasm, or coincidence. Anyway, this word is 45-46 words long. If you can top that, I give you coo

Not going to count them all. And I made this thread out of boredom, and I know it's redundant. Their is a longer word, hitting over 1 million, and I only know that from the internet.

hat makes no sense. One word repeated many times is not a single word. And if you're suggesting that tyrosine can bond to itself over a thousand times, you'd be wrong. That's a word that describes something that does not exist, even in theory. In other words, it's a coined word, so saying it's long has no significance.
