methylchloroisothiazolinone
It's an ingredient in most shampoos. Along with isothiazolinone.
Don't ask me what they do/are. I'm no chemist. 
Oh, and...
philtrum - that's the little dimple just above the center of your lip, between your nose and your upper lip. (And I always thought it was just a rest spot for your finger for long nosepicking sessions...)

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (n) What you get when you try to get high off volcano fumes.
Okay, okay, it's a legit medical term for a lung disease you get from inhaling volcano ashes.

"Nordostersjokustartilleriflygspaningssimulatoranlagg-
Ningsmaterielunderhallsuppfoljningssystemdiskussions-
Inlaggsforberedelsearbeten" which is Swedish for "preparatory work on the contribution to the discussion on the maintaining system of support of the material of the aviation survey simulator device within the north-east part of the coast artillery of the Baltic". 130 letters.
And one I was told while in Germany recently - "Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitaetenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft" or thereabouts, which means "the club for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services"

Re: interesting words you've come across
Been used a little too much recently, but "masticate". 
A bunch of italian musical terms that always are fun:
Da Capa al Coda (Back to the beginning, go to the Coda at the Coda sign)
Da Capa al Fine (back to the beginning, end at the "Fine")
Poco a poco (little by little)
Tutti (everyone)
Ritardando (watch cunductor, slow down gradually)
