The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, mostly found in volcanos".

pneumono ultra microscopic silico volcano coniosis. Not TOO hard when you break it apart. I'll have to remember that so I can sound like a jackass on the fly.

That's facticious in itself. Chemical compounds are unlimited in how long the name can get. 1913 letters long, WOW... (adds another carbon on it) ... now how many?

but by adding another carbon that compound no longer exists.

Yeah it makes a new one that has a longer name.

Sure it's 1916 letters long, but you take the same compound, add a chlorine or something, and now you gotta fit "chloride" to it.
