- lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas
- kumarreksituteskenteleentuvaisehkollaismaisekkuudellisenneskenteluttelemattomammuuksissansakaankopahan
(I can't even pronounce this neither I have any idea what does it mean)
- epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän
- atomiydinenergiareaktorigeneraattorilauhduttajaturbiiniratasvaihde

A finnish guy told me that as long as each individual word makes sense and you don't repeat them that you can just stick words together like that

I do not.
Nothing personal, I don't really get the deal with member Q/A things. I prefer good old fashioned chatting. ^^ I grew up in the age of the AOL chatrooms.

Here's another longish word I found recently:
Populous.Trichocarpa
Name of a type of tree. Lol

Hey, if "twerk" and "selfie" can be officially recognized words that appear in English language dictionaries, then I reckon that pretty much any word can be :P
