My favorite "word" ever is Welsh.
Llanfairpwyllgwyngyllgogerychgwyndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
It's a train station stop (and extention of the town name Llanfair PG) that means "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".
Pronunciation here:

About Me
- Tara Lepore
- Hi everyone. My name's Taormina Lepore, I'm a brand spanking new graduate student at CU-Boulder's M.S. program in Museum and Field Studies. I specialize in vertebrate paleontology collections and field work, and I have conducted past research on Hettangian-aged theropod and basal ornithischian dinosaur footprints in western Massachusetts. I have also had experience as a museum educator and exhibit guide. Welcome, take off your socks and shoes, throw your hat on the rack, and stay a while! :)
