This word makes my head hurt, as I decided to read all the way through it and tried to pronounce it instead of just looking at it and thinking "my what a lot of letters" and leaving it at that. This was probably not a good plan.

Pronounce it? Way out there, man!
I went sky high just trying to *read* the darn thing!
I bet that word could be put on the list of banned drugs, at least if the subject is exposed after working hours! (To the word, not he actual . . . stuff.
But it's nice to see another attempt at making the English language even richer!
