Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - also spelled -koniosis) is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust causing inflammation in the lungs. Occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word."[1]. It was coined to serve as the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary. It is listed in the current edition of several dictionaries.[2] A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - is an English word in the song with the same title in the musical film Mary Poppins. The song was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a nonsense word meaning fantastic. The critics' belief that the word itself has obscure origins has created some debate about when it was first used historically.
Dukot - (visayan-filipino word, noun)- scorch (english term)- the burnt food that sticks to the kettle after cooking.
Déjà vu - "already seen"; also called paramnesia, from Greek παρα para, "near" + μνήμη mnēmē, "memory") is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past).The experience of déjà vu seems to be quite common among adults and children alike; in formal studies 70% of people report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past,indicating it is not a new phenomenon. It has been extremely difficult to evoke the déjà vu experience in laboratory settings, therefore making it a subject of few empirical studies. Recently, researchers have found ways to recreate this sensation using hypnosis.
Nostalgic - without looking it up I would say that it is a remembrance that brings back happy feelings or maybe even a longing feeling that doesn't bring regret. Something you wish you would have done but didn't. But overall doesn't really matter anymore, it just would have been cool. Unhappy about being away and longing for familiar things or persons. A sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time.
Canker Sore - LUAS in bisaya, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth — under your tongue, inside your cheeks or lips, and at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and aren't contagious. They can be very painful, however, and can make eating and talking difficult.
Serendipity - is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. A natural gift for making useful discoveries quite by accident. Well, my favourite definition comes from Julius H. Comroe, a biomedical researcher.
Serendipity is looking for a needle in a haystack
and finding the Farmer's Daughter.
The word has its roots in "The Three Princes of Serendip", a Persian story about three princes who had the knack of discovering things quite by chance.
Ngalangala - Palate! (bagag ngala ngala!)
Kalungat - (kugmo! booger!) is the thin, slippery material that is found inside your nose. Many people call mucus snot. Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day. Snot is produced by the mucous membranes in the nose, which it moistens and protects.
Dork - Dork is a slang term that came about back in the 1960's. Typically, it's meant to refer to a stupid or ridiculous person, usually along the same lines as one would use the term "jerk."It's usually used to refer to someone who's "geeky" or "nerdy." In addition, somewhere along the line it also started to be used in a more vulgar slang way to refer to the penis. A whale's penis. (I'm not sure when that came about though.)
