Where does the word Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious originate? Where does it appear for the first time?

I am going to put this question in words and word play. It doesn’t really belong there but if I put it in its proper category, the answer might be too self-evident for some people. Best answer goes to the first person who gives the correct answer.

The Disney movie “Mary Poppins”.

All 34 letters of this word were made up for the movie, Mary Poppins, by a writing team of two brothers, Bob and Dick Sherman.

The Shermans wrote all the songs for Mary Poppins, including “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Feed the Birds” and “Chim Chim Cheree.”

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” means nothing, really.

It is a very long nonsense word that is made up to sound like you are terribly smart and “You’ll always sound precocious.” Now we use it to mean that something is fantastic or super-fabulous.

The correct answer is that it is not a real word. When they were writing Mary Poppins they needed something to put in there and could not think of anything . so some one thought of this false word.

Check the spelling:

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

your example is spelled slightly incorrectly:

PIA…, not PEA…. And yes, it’s from Mary Poppins.
