    Why stop there when you can add one more modifier?

            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.

          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.
