Curse you for introducing an idle new graduate student to this hobby... the only thing I've learned recently is that English grds tend to have, shall we say, interesting vocabularies?
Submitted so far: "multivalent artichokes" and "gangling whoremongers." And my friend Can has posted the best of all: "algolagnic librarian."
(Interestingly, though it's not a whack, "professional whoremongers" comes up first with an article from my new institution...)

Yay! Now I have one!
(I'm not going to list it, so it remains a googlewhack. It has something to do with cactus and alligators.)
Woohoo!

PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS (45 letters; a lung disease caused by breathing in certain particles) is the longest word in any English-language dictionary. (It is also spelled -koniosis.)
