And, er, see precocious for an eerily similar comment by me (which is, may I remind you, the oldest of the three in the bunch). We all must be on the same wavelength.

Well, uselessness, it seems that TWO of us were once on the same wavelength, almost a year ago. Someone ELSE took a while to get on that wavelength, I'd say. *glares at reesetee*

I love the way "expialidocious" sounds when said aloud, but the rest of the word isn't impressive enough to end up on my list.

I think that backwards (at least the way Julie Andrews says it) it's dociousaliexpiisticfragicalirupus. Phonetically.

mysticgypsy commented on the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Roots of the word have been defined3 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." This explication of its connotations suits the nature of Mary Poppins, who presents herself as both extremely beautiful and also supremely intelligent and capable of great achievements.
