An inflammation of the lungs caused by microscopic grains of certain types of rock.

*NOTE* This word was actually coined in a deliberate attempt to be the longest word in the english language, although you would be hard-pressed to find it in the language dictionary as it is a medical/scientific term.
"Dude, now that I've learned how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism, what am I going to do to make people think I'm smart?"

"Quiet man, I'm trying to name this condition we discovered today. Its an inflammation of the lungs caused by microscopic grains of certain types of rock."

"Hey, I smell opportunity! How long could we make this word?"

"Pretty long...I suppose we could stretch it to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"

Pneumaticglobophobia

Pneumatic meaning containing or operated by air, globo meaning ballon, and phobia meaning fear. It is referred to as a fear of big balloons, mostly known as inflatable decorations like the ones for Halloween or Christmas. Sometimes these inflatables are seen on people's property for many other holidays or special occasions. It's not clear what causes a person to fear these objects, but what is known is that they cause some sort of discomfort and/or anxiety due to their size, noise (due to the air compressor), or their presence. Not many people have this fear, nor is it that heard of to begin with. Most people have a fear of your regular, plastic balloons, but some others have a fear of inflatables.
"Hey man, you got those decorations?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Cus i got pneumaticglobophobia man."
