Scratch

When I say this word at school, people are scared of me:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

It's one of the longest words in the english language. It's a certain lung disease.

It was funny, because I typed it in on one of my school computers, and it counted as a word... lol

Why not just call it Protein X?

I'm pretty sure everyone is still on topic 

Long words are also strange, and is this topic not about 'funny' words that you don't hear every day?
