    7. The longest common english word that does not repeat a letter is uncopyrightables. But Borgmann supplies some longer coined words, such as vodkathumbscrewingly, with 20 letters, which means to apply thumbscrews while under the influence of vodka.

    The longest such word ever created, he says, is the 23-letter monster pubvexingfjordschmaltzy, which means “as if in the manner of the extreme sentimentalism generated in some individuals by the sight of a majestic fjord, which sentimentalism is annoying to the clientele of an English inn.”

    (answer #7 to ‘last month’s short word and number problems’, from the december 1965 issue of scientific american)
