flight

Not a real word. It was discluded because of the double-negative. (Well, that's what I heard.)

Bumble-bee.

(it's a lung disease, 45 letters)

That's the other one I was trying to think of. Couldn't for the life of me remember it.

from http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mantidis.html :

"Instead, we’ll get out our truss and pick up the Oxford English Dictionary. Turning to page 59, we find that antidisestablishmentarianism is indeed a word. The definition is as follows: “Properly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, but popularly cited as an example of a long word.” "

I suppose it all comes down to whichever dictionary you subscribe to.

Aside from it not fitting on the board, it'd make a decent score in Scrabble:

• Stab (6)
• Establish (14)
• Disestablishment (24+50=74)
• Disestablishmentarian (29)
• Antidisestablishmentarianism (38+50=88)

And by that time it would almost certainly be crossing at least two double word scores or three triple word scores. 38x2x2+50=202, 38x3x3x3+50=1076. Pitty the highest scoring letter is H (4).
