Occasional reader, first time poster... I have a blog discussing the longest words in English and one of them, Ornicopytheobibliopsychocrystarroscioaerogenethliometeoroaustrohieroanthropoichthyopyrosiderochpnomyoalectryoophiobotanopegohydrorhabdocrithoaleuroalphitohalomolybdoclerobeloaxinocoscinodactyliogeolithopessopsephocatoptrotephraoneirochyroonychodactyloarithstichooxogeloscogastrogyrocerobletonooenoscapulinaniac, seems to have sources, but I cannot find any myself. Does anyone here know if this word was actually ever published?

My blog is at http://longestwords.wordpress.com/

One would imagine that word would be a chapter in itself.

I've no idea; it looks like a series of words all mashed together. I'd imagine it was invented as a exercise and then ignored.

Any idea what it's supposed to mean?

EDIT: Never mind. I've just read what you say about it in your blog.

Try this word which Stella posted on the "limerick game: Rotorua" forum.
