supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Absurdly, impossibly marvelous
A nonsense word from the 1964 Disney film *Mary Poppins*, used to express enthusiastic approval or describe something extraordinarily wonderful.
The song explains it's what you say when you don't know what to say.
Outside direct references to the film, it appears mostly in playful or ironic contexts: The presentation was, dare I say, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
