9-syllable words

[koster]

There can't be many 9-syllable words in English.

Can anyone think of any?

EPIZOOTIOLOGICALLY . . . . 10 syllables

Thanks!

I found the one I needed for the quiz - "disestablishmentarianism".

[Vanilla Face]

Is that not 10 syllables?!

[puzzlesRus]

Think you'll find it's 9

[vaiodon]

According to wordcalc.com disestablishmentarianism is only 8 syllables & wikipedia reckons it's a 19th Century concept.

Better think again for that widescreen TV, eh "koster"!!

I can't see how you can make ten syllables out of it.

8 possibly, if you put 'ian' together.

Well, I already sent off my entry - but I think I got the Nixon one wrong. I put "Tricky Dicky", but maybe it should have been "Would you buy a used car from this man?".

Found a better syllable counter at wordscount.info - so I reckon #4 is latitudinarianism. I'm stuck with the anti Tricky Dicky slogan (unless it's Tricky Dicky!).

This one's been compulsive work. Good luck!

I apologise profusely for being so thick.
