 Antidisestablishmentarianism is the WORST word. People always use it to sound smart, and it never works.

Now, let's break apart the word (if no one has)

Anti (not)
Dis (not)
Establish (ment)
arian
ism

Double not, so let's just take not nots off.

To establish. As in, to create (I'm not getting the definition).

Establishment. Something created.

Establishmentarian, no idea.

Establishmentarianism, well, I know what ism does, but still...well, i'm not looking it up. XD

That was pointless.

Word.

 Isn't it just the state of being those who oppose the establishment of the (and I think it is church)?

Double negatives don't cancel, the just mean being against those already against something, which doesn't necessary mean being for.

This is funny, since I only read the bottom half of the page.

Oh.

 Dang,Riverpaw wins....no wait, I win!! HAHAHA!!!

Gen. Volkov

 No I do, because I know what the word is and how it was used. Disestablishmentarianism, is to be against the disestablishment of a state church. Like the Church of England. The "ism" makes it a verb, or idea I believe. So the word itself makes sense, its just that no one has had cause to use it for hundreds of years.


HAHAHAHA! I win!
