An inflammation of the lungs caused by microscopic grains of certain types of rock.
*NOTE* This word was actually coined in a deliberate attempt to be the longest word in the english language, although you would be hard-pressed to find it in the language dictionary as it is a medical/scientific term.
"Dude, now that I've learned how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism, what am I going to do to make people think I'm smart?"
"Quiet man, I'm trying to name this condition we discovered today. Its an inflammation of the lungs caused by microscopic grains of certain types of rock."
"Hey, I smell opportunity! How long could we make this word?"
"Pretty long...I suppose we could stretch it to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"

It’s pronounced nju mə(ʊ)nəʊˌʌltrəˌmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ˈskɒpɪkˌsɪlɪkəʊvɒlˌkeɪnəʊˌkəʊnɪˈəʊsɪs not that that is any great help but, at 45 letters, it is at the time of writing, the longest word to be found in an English dictionary. As for what it is, it’s a lung disease caused by inhaling dust and ash from volcanoes, so it’s a variant of silicosis and pneumoconiosis. It is said to be a made-up word intended simply to be the longest word in the English language, but it isn’t, that title goes to the chemical name for Titin which is a type of protein. In English this word has 189,819 letters and would take three-and-a-half hours to pronounce.
If you thought Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was bad, let’s see you pronounce the chemical name of titin.
