Here's something that many native speakers use, but most don't know quite how it works. This explanation is a bit convoluted, but bear with me. If you want to use a swear word to modify another word, you can often insert the swear word into the word it modifies. For example:
fucking delicious --> de-fucking-licious
fucking congratulations --> congratu-fucking-lations
god damn ridiculous --> ri-god-damn-diculous
This sounds a little funny and is usually intended to be humorous and sometimes sarcastic. It is done by inserting the modifying word or phrase *before the most heavily accented syllable of the word it modifies*. If the first syllable of a word is accented, you usually can't do it without sounding weird. There may be a couple exceptions. In some words, the syllable before the accented syllable ends with a vowel sound that is awkward to pronounce out of context. Take "miraculous," for example. The "mi" at the beginning, when taken on its own, can only comfortably be pronounced "mee," "my," or "mih," none of which are the correct pronunciation in the actual word. In this case, you would have to take the "r" from the second syllable ("ra") and append it to the first syllable to get "mir." Then insert the swear word, and repeat the entire second syllable along with the rest of the word, to get "mir-fucking-raculous." It takes a bit of practice and you don't want to over-use it, but I think it's a fun thing to know.
Sorry if no one understood that. ~_~

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is longer, as is floccinaucinihilipilificastically! ^^;
Also, more suffixes/prefixes can be added on to Antidisestablishmentarianism (whose root word is merely "establish"), to create compounds such as neocontrapseudoantidisestablishmentarianistically.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English
has a debate over a few of these words, and
http://members.aol.com/gulfhigh2/words11.html
has many different languages' longest words! Enjoy! ^^
P.S. Nice explanation, csmさん！Very well put for a hard concept! ^^

Your writing is fully enjoyable. Beside the sound 'mi', phonologically speaking, there are several sounds in English which is not properly to be put forward in certain positions. Still you have explained it without mesmeric ado! I would highly appreciate it.
ch is right.
『英辞郎』says pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest English word, which I have no reason to doubt yet, though the article of wikipedia you showed us is telling that there are far more contestants fot the prize. I enjoyed both of the sites very much. Thank you!

次の例は、ネイティブの話し手の多くが、使うことはあっても、どうやっているのかを知らない。以下の説明は複雑だが、ご勘弁頂きたい。タブー語を使って他の言葉を強めたい時に、強調したい言葉の中にタブー語を埋め込んでしまうやり方がある。例を挙げれば：
fucking delicious --> de-fucking-licious
fucking congratulations --> congratu-fucking-lations
god damn ridiculous --> ri-god-damn-diculous

おかしな感じに聞こえるし、普通はユーモラスな効果を、時には皮肉な感じを狙っている。強調する語・句を埋め込むのは、『強調される語の、一番強いアクセントが来る音節の前』の部分である。単語の第一音節にアクセントがあると、普通へんな発音にしかならない。

例外もある。単語によっては、アクセントのある音節の直前の音節が母音で終わるは、つながり具合では、発音しづらい。“miraculous”を例にとろう。最初の“mi”は単独では「ミィ」「マイ」「ミ」のようにしかはっきりと発音できないし、これは実際の単語では正しい発音ではない。このような場合、二つ目の音節（“ra”）から“r”を取って最初の音節につけて、“mir”とする。次に、タブー語を埋め込み、二つ目の音節全体と単語の残り全部を繰り返して、“mir-fucking-raculous”とする。練習が要るし、使い過ぎることもない。これを知っていれば面白いと思う。

Be careful with this!
You can't use "fucking" with all adjectives.
"He is se-fucking-rious" sounds stupid.
"That movie was inter-fucking-esting" also sounds stupid.
However, using "fucking" before an adjective is usually fine.
For example:
"fucking boring"
"fucking stupid"
"fucking cool"
These are all fine. In these cases, "fucking" simply means "very."
Also, if you are going to use this slang (putting "fucking" in the middle of a word, such as "bull-fucking-shit"), be sure that you understand that often it sounds very harsh and is a bit rude to say in general conversation. It often has a sarcastic or angry tone. It's best to only use it with your friends and to not use it so often. Women usually don't use this slang. Also make sure you use this slang correctly because unlike other expressions, using this slang improperly will REALLY make you sound strange.
