Plagiarism - copying something which someone said or wrote - without properly acknowledging the source. When you cut and paste things, you should at least mention that you quoted someone. Otherwise, that would be like stealing.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

"a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust causing inflammation in the lungs. Occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word."[1] It was coined to serve as the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary.
