This word has exactly 1783 letters. And it's blatantly Finnish. Obviously the weird looking characters are meant to be letters with umlauts on them so yeah.
BUT... the longest ACCEPTABLE Finnish word is this:
"lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" (according to theFinnish edition of Guinness Bokk of Records) which has 61 characters and translates approximately to technical warrant officer trainee specialized in aircraft jet engines.

 lol apparently... In June 1995, in Liberty, Ohio, police officer Bradley L. Sebastian, tired of waiting for his food order at Denny's, stormed into the kitchen, held his gun to the cook's head, and told her he would kill her if she didn't hurry up. |

In a town south of Chicagie (that's Chicago to all you sane people) wearing trousers like a hip-hopper has become against the law. If you show more than 7cm of your underpants, you'll get fined $25.
And, the emo style is getting banned in Russia because it glorifies antisocial behaviour and suicide, and people will not be allowed to wear their hair over their eyes.
