I was told
"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" (45)
['New-mono-ultra- Mie-croe-sco-pic- Sil-ee-coe-vl- Can-ie-con-ie- Oe-sis' stress on every second syllable] was the longest word, the name for some kind of lung disease.

(excluding its plural: "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisES")

floccinaucinihilipilification (saying everything is rubbish without reason) is a mere 28. And is something people like David Winters are guilty of.
