You probably know the longest word in the English language is antidisestablishmentarianisms. But you probably do not know what it means.

Well I decided to look the word up in the dictionary and antidisestablishmentarianisms are basically drugs to keep yourself from pi***ng too much. :-)

Wikipedia says:

"Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of church and state. The term originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where antidisestablismentarians were opposed to proposals to remove its status as the state church of England. The term has largely fallen into disuse, although the issue itself is still current."

In the 60's it was the hippy motto against the establishment.:D

"Antidisestablishmentarianisms" is undoubtedly one of the most esoteric yet profound words...














...that I've never had any reason WHATEVER to use... ;)

I usually just say "Gadzooks!" instead...




:(

uh, wasn't the anitdisestablismentarianism movement basically just the establishment?
so i don't confuse myself it would go like this:
establismentarianism
disestablishmentarianism
antidisestablishmentarianism

what's even the use for the last one? it's the same as the first.

You see, you have the establishment - they just mind their own business. The antidisestablishment - they're the establishment that hate the disestablishment.

First seeing it and it's definition, I always thought it was an oxymoron...

And Lionel, this is speaking of the church, and I highly doubt the church establishment minded their own buisness :D.
