Antidisestablishmentarianism

Let's discuss it.

After you've all looked up to see what it means in the first place that is 😉

Once you have done we won't bother discussing it because it's a boring subject anyway and I only bought it up to see how many of you check this post out from a curisoity factor :^O

Now I'm going back to doing something really interesting, my favorite job in fact, running through the end of last month's accounts .... Oh how much I love doing that (Not) :_|

Dunno whether I'm on the right track but not interested enough to google for a definition.

I came in to look, just because it is one of my son's favourite words.

Another of his favourites is defenestration.

I just hope that there's a cure for it and vaccinations!

it'd be - against the breaking down of something - from az's post it must be religious.

anti - against

disestablishment - the opposite of establishment

arian - is some kind of suffix

ism - a way to make the word look fancy and turn it into a noun
