I get pithy thometimes...

This is a name rather than a word, but it can fit right? Some parents in Sweden tried to name their kid Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116. It is pronounced "Albin."

I know the other words because of my experience with ships, but "fahrtsgesellschafts" is unknown to me.

fahren =? to go

I'm surprised someone hasn't already mentioned this but:
