Honorificabilitudinity (n)

If you want to sound more like Porky Pig, use this Oxfordian synonym for (the infinitely more simple) 'honorableness'.

Oxford also assures us that this word is pronounced in the US, and it is pronounced thusly: ɑnəˌrɪfᵻkəˌbɪlᵻt(j)uˈdɪnᵻdi/

Which I can't read. I would pronounce it, after lots of practice, thusly: On-or-IF-ick-Ab-ill-TWO-DIN-it-Tea.
