What is the spelling and meaning of the long word in Mary Poppins?

From Wikipedia.org: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is defined as a nonsense word that is used to describe the longest word. Roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expeali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educatability through delicate beauty." This explication of its connotations suits the fictional nature of Mary Poppins, in that she presents herself as both superlatively beautiful and also supremely intelligent and capable of great achievements.

What are the dumbest scenes in otherwise good movies?

David Lynch's 1986 film "Blue Velvet" is a highly disturbing, yet brilliant look into the dark side of a small town, and in a broad sense, the duality of mankind and how thin the line is between being a "good person" and "bad person". But there is one scene that makes me cringe every time I see it. The main protagonists, Jeffrey and Sandy (played by Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern, respectively) have just met, and it's clear Jeffrey is trying to impress Sandy. He says to her, "Do you know the 'Chicken Walk'?", and proceeds to demonstrate said walk, byt crouching down and strutting like a chicken. Sandy gives him a pity laugh and says it's interesting, and Jeffrey looks very pleased with himself. There's no reason for this scene to be there, as it doesn't move the plot ahead, and isn't really needed as character exposition for Jeffrey. It's awkward and cringey. In fact, now that I've thought about it again, I believe in the future when I watch this movie, I'll fast-forward past the Chicken Walk.

Mary poppins use to fly with a umbrella?

She did not actually fly, but used the parasol-like device as a sort of parachute- a very dangerous stunt as it is much too small to support the human frame.
