supercalifragilisticexpialidocious A nonsense-word used esp. by children, now chiefly expressing excited approbation: fantastic, fabulous. Made popular by the Walt Disney film "Mary Poppins" in 1964. The song containing the word was the subject of a copyright infringement suit brought in 1965 against the makers of the film by Life Music Co. and two song-writers: cf. quots. 1949, 1951. In view of earlier oral uses of the word sworn to in affidavits and dissimilarity between the songs the judge ruled against the plaintiffs. Taken from the OED.
