Also,

methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl…

At over 180,000 letters long, the chemical name of the protein titin is often said to technically be the longest English word. If spoken out loud, this word takes over three hours to say! Its absurd length is due to the fact that proteins get their scientific names by combining the names of all of their joined amino acids together, and titin has quite a lot of them. For obvious reasons, titin’s official name has never actually appeared in a dictionary or scientific text. Because it is a scientific term, many would disqualify the Big M from actually taking the crown as English’s longest word.

What does that translate to?

[–] Patyk34@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea but if you read it like as it is in Polish you get something like "Gierek fucks pussy".

It's actually means "children shoes and clothes" XD

Kurwa cieszy mnie że to jest czysto zrobione pod polską mniejszość tej strony i nikt inny nie ogarnia xDDDDD

No ciekawe czy mamy jakiegoś Madziara tutaj.

Any Hungarian comrades here?

Listen to Big Church by sunn O))) from Monoliths & Dimensions to hear Attila Csihar chant this word a bunch of times.

Welsh example, imagine you're touring the village of Llanhyfryddawelllehynafoly barcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole and decided you wanted to catch a train to Liverpool but on your way there you accidentally take the wrong train and end up in Fairbourne at Gorsafawddachaidraigodan heddogleddollonpenrhynareurdraethceredigion rail station. Makes for a great photo opportunity at least.

Had to cut those two words in half just to fit them in mobile
