pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

(pneumono=pneumonia)(ultramicroscopic=self-explanatory)(silico=made of silicon)(volcano=comes from volcanos)(coniosis= basic ending)

So... this is pneumonia caused by microscopic silicon which came from a volcano

SWEET :D

I like it too, although my favorite may be "floccinaucinihilipilification." Nine i's!
