Pulchritudinousness

CALL!

Pulchritude, surely?

"Miss Bennett, I should wish to acquaint myself further with your most welcoming and bountiful pulchritude"

Tal is the epitome of the word "punctilious"

Some might say the verbiage from the Chess playing poster is preposterous, in fact its hard to challenge the verisimilitude of this statement

It was a great excuse for some fake Jane Austen, tbf

Winningest is a horrible word, and don't think it's standard British English. Also not sure it's in the OED either.

Floccinauccinihilipilification is great word. As is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosises.

The longest word in the English language is something like 1,184 letters long. It's - if memory serves - an eye condition particularly prevalent in miners.

What was the quiz program where the contestants used this on a regular basis. I think they were given 3 letters and had to use them in the right order to make the longest world possible.

Catchword, hosted by Paul Coia.  Loved that programme, hence me knowing those two words.

As an aside, Paul Coia was the first voice heard on Channel 4, just before the first ever programme aired on it - Countdown.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosises is the longest in the OED (iirc). It's a lung disease suffered by miners.
