This word was originally written in 1931 by Helen Herman, a journalism student at Syracuse University, as “Supercaliflawjalisticexpialadoshus.”

I sleep better tonight. Thanks.
How precocious!
I’ll assume that the OP is talking about my own article here: Is “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” a real word referring to Irish hookers? - The Straight Dope
This was one of the avenues we explored and even talked to Mary O’Brien who at that time gave us the best information she had. I’m happy to hear that they finally found it and we can finally lay this to rest.
That’s underwhelming. Subcalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Double plus docious.
The next step, obviously, is to take it to Richard Sherman and ask how he reconciles his and Bob’s previous recounting of the origin with the new evidence.
Though hopefully with a bit more tact than that.

Eutychus, if you’d like to amend your old staff report, please let me know…
Yes, Eutychus. 
I didn’t mean to step on any toes. In looking up the article that was posted on Facebook by one of my (Syracuse, of course!) friends, I came across your post, but wasn’t allowed to reply to it.
It’s no skin off my nose if you decide to amend your original reporting on this awesome word!
"Leaffan: "I sleep better tonight. Thanks. " ’ LOL! I’m glad I could help.
