Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

(I saw the movie when it was released in 1964 - I know, I'm dating myself)

Definition from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superca...expialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a song and a long word from the movie Mary Poppins (and in the musical version)
The song describes using the word as a miraculous way to talk oneself out of difficult situations, and even as a way to change one's mood. The song appears in the film's animated sequence where Mary Poppins is harangued by reporters after winning a horse race and responds to one claiming there are not words to describe her feelings of the moment. Mary disagrees with that and begins the song about one word she can use.

In the West End version (probably the same for the Broadway one), every one runs out of conversations and Mary and the kids head to Mrs. Corry's shop, where you can buy them. Jane and Michael pick out some letters and spell a few words. Bert and Mrs. Corry use the letters to make up some words too, which Jane doesn't think they exist. Mary says you could use some letters more than one time and makes the longest word of all.

The word itself has obscure origins, pertaining as to when it was first used, but the roots are fairly clear, as Richard Lederer wrote in his book Crazy English: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expiali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," the sum meaning roughly "Atoning for extreme and delicate beauty while still being highly educable." This is the perfect word for Mary Poppins to use, being that she thinks of herself as incredibly beautiful but also extremely intelligent, which makes up for it.
