FUN WITH WORDS




A
ristophane
s concocted the
longest word in print in any language:

lopadotemachoselachogaleokranio-
leipsanodrimypotrimmatosilphiotyro-
melitokatakechymenokichlepikossy-

phophattoperisteralektryonopteke-
phallioking
klopeleiolagoosiraio-
baphetraganopterygon.

Aristophanes threw into it oysters and fish and sharks and cheese and birds so that appropriately the word means nothing more than "hash."

What is this word, super long naman! It will take you days, weeks, months, years to memorize it.

Hige nga, use it in a sentence!

Ram is right, who would ever memorize a word like that! I don't even want to think about it.

Ram,

It simply means, "hash". Check the meaning of the word hash and you will understand the concocted word.
