Hexspeak

What's the longest word you can get purely by misusing hexadecimal?

My record is colibacillosis (c071bac1770515), 14 letters.

I'm using abcdef verbatim, with o=0, i=1, s=5, l=7. If you allow g=9, you can do one better (15 letters), with biosociological/ecclesiological/sociobiological and you can also get the 14 letter word fossilological, but that's a bit harder to read.

Can anyone beat that?

(guess who needed a 64-bit magic cookie today and didn't want to live with deadbeef01234567)

I've been known to use

70AD0F07DCABBA9E

but it's not just one word, :).

Wow, if you allow t=7 you get

0x5111c0f1a9e11a7e (silicoflagellate)

There's even a couple of 17 letter words (silicoflagellatae/silicoflagellidae)!

hm, I was reading 7=L in the above :)
