I was reading an article about insomnia treatment for men, titled "Slumber, Jack", and at the end there is a mention of a kind of surgery that can be used to cure sleep apnea, called "uvulopalatopharyngoplasty--surgery". I whimsically counted the syllables of the term that ends with plasty, comparing it the whole way to super...ocious, and found that it came three syllables short. Then I noticed that "surgery" was also part of the term, adding the remaining three syllables.
Also, on Wikipedia it is noted that super...ocious ought to be two words, because "ic" is a suffix and "ex" is a prefix, and hard c's don't come before e's.
I have found a conqueror for Mary Poppins' word! HaHaHa!!!!
