Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
A big word I learn when I was watching Disney at Emily’s age. It was sang by Julie Andrews in Mary Poppin.
According to Wikipedia, the roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- “above”, cali- “beauty”, fragilistic- “delicate”, expiali- “to atone”, and docious- “educable”, with the sum of these parts signifying roughly “Atoning for educability through delicate beauty.
Emily picked it up. She wanted to learn it when she heard me say it. I didn’t know she could do it. Now she is teaching daddy to say it. Anyone of you heard this before?
Here is the Disney version of the song:

Thanks for enlightening me of the meaning. I loved the song and as a young girl, always had fun trying to pronounce it. I can say it pretty quickly now, after years of practice!

I watched Marry Poppins but I didn’t pick this word up.. 😛 I guess I’m not as observant (which you already know.. ) -
