What is the longest English word that you type with just the keys that you normally type with your left hand on a standard "QWERTY" keyboard? (i.e., keys "QWERTASDFGZXCVB").

Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.
