        Antidisestablishmentarian.

        Why stop there when you can add one more modifier?

            lesbian

            (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)

              This sounds like a mental health care app and I already want to uninstall it.

                          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.

                                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.
