Is supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus the longest word ever?

No, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is not the longest word ever.

While it's definitely a long word, there are many longer words in the English language, including:

* Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis: A lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silica dust.

* Floccinaucinihilipilification: The act of estimating something as worthless.

* Antidisestablishmentarianism: Opposition to the separation of church and state.

There are also some very long technical terms used in scientific fields.

So, while "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is a fun and memorable long word, it's not the longest one out there!
