Why would you look this up? Anyway, it is a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis!

Hey, I saw you near a volcano last night! Did you get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

an obscure term ostensibly referring to a lung disease caused by silica dust, sometimes cited as one of the longest words in the English language.
I watched a comedy show where the host asked an eighth grader to spell “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.”

"Oh hey man." Jeremy greets. "Hey man I'm sad, my dad got pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis." Replies John. "Sucks bro." Jeremy says
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a lung disease that is caused by inhaling fine silicate or quartz dust causing inflammation inside the lungs. A boring long word with a boring definition, though at least we can seem cool if we pronounce it and act smart.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the diagnosis my doctor gave me last year. I am better and good at pronouncing the word to seem cool and smarter too.

Both the longest word ever and the ugliest one. It is said to be a lung disease which can be caused by inhaling fine dust and sand.
“Have you heard the news? Bob inhaled fine dust and sand. He now suffers from pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”
