Anticonstitutionnellement mean "unconstitutionally" in english..
And it (or rather his traduction) is as well the longest word in portuguese. Portuguese : anticonstitucionalissimamente |

The word "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a" is actually a proper noun. It is the name of the Hawaiian state fish. The fish just happends to be a Wedge-Tail Triggerfish. For more information, check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reef_triggerfish By the way, there is a longer Hawaiian word, "Lau 'Wiliwilinukunukuoioi". It's another fish.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (Hawaii's state fish if I am correct) is longer than the fish itself. |

In Portuguese:
"Otorrinolaringologista" (otorhinolaryngologist) Note: "Anticonstitucionalíssimamente" does not exist in any Portuguese Dictionary. Anyway, I guess we are free to form that word according the adverbial rules of romance languages  .
