The epic showdown nobody asked for: IUPAC vs. Titin! On the left, we have the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, desperately trying to maintain order in the chemical universe with their systematic naming conventions. On the right? Just a humble protein with the full scientific name that would take you approximately 3.5 hours to pronounce. Titin's full chemical name contains 189,819 letters, making it the longest word in any language. Chemists created a naming system for clarity, then immediately sabotaged themselves by creating molecules so complex they need names longer than the entire works of Shakespeare. Next time someone asks you to pass the methylethylwhatever, just hand them the entire dictionary instead.
