Floccinaucinihilipilification

floc-ci-nau-ci-ni-hi-li-pi-li-fi-ca-tion. (breathe)
On last count it has 12 syllables, I do believe
It's about the longest word that I have ever seen
And I bet that you are asking, 'what the heck does this word mean? '

It is a flabagasting piece of vocabulary
And pronouncing it will need rehearsals, that is clear to see
But how to bring it into speech with out sounding show offy?
Or slip it in quite casually over a cup of coffee?

Well hear it is; You use this word when what you really meant
Is that you have found something to be... insignificant
So, Floccinaucinihilipilification
Is ' worthless' to us numpties as we'd need an explanation!

The longest word in the world is 'SMILES'. There is a mile between the first and last letters. Hee Hee Hee. Nice one Stevie, all the same.

Steph, you sure that's not a word Mary Poppins made up? Lots of marks for finding it and lots more doing this with it. Indeed flabagasting.
