    How to pick just one?!?

    But I offer: crepitations.

    Added word: I really can't settle for one, but I will stop at two. Second offering:

    pneumonoultramicroscopic

    silicovolcanoconiosis

    That is all one word, but Answers somehow wouldn't let it be on one line.

    " insegrievious " it's an adjective coined by Gary Owens, a Los Angeles radio and TV personality whom you may have seen on the most recent Emmy Awards program.

    He was the announcer from Laugh-In with the great deep voice.

    The "coolest" thing about this word is that it can mean whatever you want it to mean and it's cool sounding too !

    I like "chutzpa." It's a Yiddish word, sometimes described as the attitude you have when you first crap on your neighbour's doorstep, then ring the doorbell and ask for toilet paper. The spelling varies a bit. By the way, I think you meant "e.g." rather than "i.e."

    Coolest word:

    Fitzgerald.

    Not exactly a word, but still something that sounds cool.

    One of the longest is antidisestablishmentarianism.

    I just read the other answers and I see some one else came up with antidisestablishmentarianism. That's amazing.
