The putative longest word (and a complete sentence in itself) in Turkish is

Cekyoslovakyalilastiramadiklarimizdanmisiniz?

Which means, "Are you one of those that we could not make Czechoslovakian?"

Just thought you'd want to know.

I know one person who uses the word munge. He uses it constantly, and to describe the crappy effort he's going to make at his job. So, the fact I despise this person doesn't help the word's chances with me.

New list idea: otherwise good words, ruined by despicable human beings

Sabreader: Indeed. I didn't know how to make them. Although, if it WERE bakanl-i-k, then I suppose it would be bakanliklerimidenmisiniz ;)

Robot: No, see I disagree on Brie and so forth. There's something more basic going on when you call an orange a "Portugal" or China China. They're not adjectives modifying a hidden noun, "Brie" cheese, etc. In that case, buckram might have to go.

seems like, given vowel harmony in turkish, it should be bakanlıklarımızdanmısınız ... :-)

Do animals count as products? You should add canary.

Don't forget about all those tasty foods like brie and champagne.

I grew up with Cashmere Bouquet soap and powder as our houshold favorites. It was decades later that I figured out what the name meant!
