Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis Anyone?

by admin on June 21, 2009

Have you heard of the word Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

Well, if you’re like me who might not have visited the latest edition of my good old dictionary, then I now know of what’s new with the word bank. :)

Well, since we are in the online age, we always have to anticipate the evolution of any information as stated over the Internet. What we know today might be obsolete tomorrow. Just like the word Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

Who would’ve thought of this word? Well according to yeah, Wikipedia, this artificial (etymology) word is alleged to mean:

“a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.”

Okay, now can you try saying it consecutively like a tongue twister? :)
