December 20, 2009
Floccinaucinihilipilification (n):
The act
Of estimating
Something as
Worthless.
What a mouthful
For such
A worthless
Definition!
Impossible to
Use in normal
Conversation.
Nine I’s
And no E’s
No S’s
And one T
Often said
To be
The longest
Word
A person
Knows.
29 letters
12 syllables
Can never
Be used
In a Shakes
Sonnet.
A lonely
Word.
Never used
In a
Scrabble game
That I’ve
Ever seen,
Though I
Have tried.
Not many
Know it.
But it’s my
All-time
Favorite word.
What’s yours?
