Gubernaculum (Gubernaculae) - the cord that lowers a male's testicles into his scrotum. This is one of my favourite words. Just sounds good.
That big long word that start pneumono...etc etc is a medical term, and quite amazing, but I can't be bothered to cut and paste it in here just to show off I know about it.

Sorry to be off-topic as usual, but...
I had a plastic bag of small plumbing parts at the house. It gave a warning not to let young children play with the bag. The warning was in both English and French. I don't know French, but in comparing the two versions, I was pretty well able to figure out what the French words meant. I got to "nez et bouche" and I recognized it as "nose and lips." I knew the Nez Pierce Indians had pierced noses, and I have heard a co-worker talking about his high-school band days as a trombone player, and the pursuant need to have the correct "embouchure," i.e. lip action, on the trombone mouthpiece.
So there. 😛
