An invented long word said to mean a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust.

This word was invented by Everett M. Smith, president of the National Puzzlers' League (N.P.L.), at its annual meeting. The word figured in the headline for an article published by the New York Herald Tribune on February 23, 1935, titled "Puzzlers Open 103rd Session Here by Recognizing 45-Letter Word.

Fun fact about health.

The face a patient makes when doctor tells them they have this.... :mellow:

that is indeed made up bullshit lol. better to describe it simply as pneumoconiosis, condition of dusty lungs. there are more specific varieties of this, like anthracosis and I think mesothelioma
