Was a miners disease apparently.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious can be turned into several words:-

Soup, a Cauli, Fridge, Elastic, Eggs, Pea, Halitosis.

Then there is here:-
en.wikipedia.org

As I remember it there used to be a place name in Wales which started Llanfair.
Here you go:-

There was also a maori place name in New Zealand which started Taumata.
Oh. Here it is:-

If I should be punished
For every little pun I shed
I would need a puny shed
In which to hide my punished head

Sorry about that.

Amazing what can be done with words.
