Where does the word Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious originate? Where does it appear for the first time?
Favorite Answer
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.
But I am not the first so there goes my ten points. Well, at least I got two points
Cheers from the land down under
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
your example is spelled slightly incorrectly:
PIA…, not PEA…. And yes, it’s from Mary Poppins.
