Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Definition: a nonsense word meaning fantastic; also called supercalifragilistic

Etymology: popularized by the movie 'Mary Poppins'

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

If I ever end up having kids, I think I would make them repeat this 25 times everytime they do something wrong. Consqequentially, they will become expert phoneticists and will be able to recite "she sells sea shells on the sea shore" in their dreams without distorting the pronounciation of any word!

Hah! Maybe they should make this an official nursery rhyme.... supercalifragilistic idea eh? What say?
