Aluminiferous has a plethora of syllables.
So is antidisestablishmentarianism. Does it mean:
opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, esp. the Anglican Church in 19th-century England.
(used as a nonsense word by children to express approval or to represent the longest word in English.)
