interesting

Found this........

Q. What is the longest word in the dictionary?
A. It depends...

It might be 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' (which appears in the Oxford English Dictionary), unless you want to count names of diseases (such as 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis', defined by the OED as "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word"), places (such as 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch', a village in Wales; see the Web site, which has an audio pronunciation of the word), chemical compounds (apparently there is one that is 1,913 letters long), and also a few words found only in Joyce's Finnegans Wake.

Other words famous for being sesquipedalian:

antidisestablishmentarianism ("opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England")
floccinaucinihilipilification
honorificabilitudinitatibus (Which appears in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, and which has been cited as [dubious] evidence that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays)

Or perhaps smiles is the longest word, because there's a mile between the first letter and the last.
 
Brimful of Asha on the '45

Hey Chicken65,
I really like the catchy tune of ‘Brimful of Asha on the ’45’. Something really addictive about it. I heard it 3 years ago on MTV when I was in Bombay. Never understood what the song was about, but I thought the video was quite interesting and ofcourse, I loved the tune.

Thanks for reminding me about it
:)

It means precisely what patienceGC said. Something that is of no apparent value. Peace out!

Get the CD, it's great.

(Calgal - "what's the good word?" means what's up?)
(Similar to "my bad" - my fault.)

About their promotion of a simple life
And the dams they're building

Well it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
It's a brimful of Asha on the 45

Chicken65,
Thank you for the lyrics of ‘Brimful of Ashes on the ‘45’ :) I see now, that the song is really sort of an ode to Asha Bhosle and other singers who brought unforgettable melodies to the silver screen while the actors that lip-synched danced about trees….
I think I have a better understanding of the song now than I did 3 years ago….

Will definitely look up the CD.

Brimful of Asha on the ‘45
Wells it’s a Brimful of Asha on the ‘45
…….

I have never heard of any brit-desi music other than the good 'ol Steven Kapoor or Bally Sagoo.

I will try this CD.

You guys ever heard of Punjabi MC?
