Why stop there when you can add one more modifier?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
…ism
I know you were talking about modifiers, but… I believe in diseases caused by the inhalation of volcanic ash darnit
Wait? Is that really what that means? I never bothered to break it down before and i feel like i was just enlightened lmao
I think this is how you split it:
Pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-coni-osis
- Pneumono = lungs
- Ultra = very
- Microscopic = very small
- Silico = stone (silica)
- Volcano = …
- Coni = dust
- osis = medical condition
Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m hearing this term for the first time so I might very well be off. Though I will say I am German and we do love our compound words, so I’m fairly confident this is at least getting the gist of things
So to conclude I think this just means “medical condition in the lungs caused by very fine volcanic dust”
How the -ism suffix would change the meaning, I’m not sure. I don’t think it would mean denial of said medical condition, though.
Thats what i got out of it too. Im no linguist but i do enjoy words

(lesbianism is often used in a fearmongering way by bigots and it makes me sound like a badass member of some dark cult that’s comin for all yer girlfriends)
I don’t meet the admission requirements, but I consider myself a lesbian.

welcome to the tiddy enjoyers club 😎Thank you. The bouncer at my local lesbian bar was all set to throw me out until I showed them your comment. Now everyone is all, “Oh, pardon me, right this way, sir,” so you have my gratitude.
