Best. Word. Ever.

(1/2) > >>

Ender:
Floccinaucinihilipilification - the habit of describing something as worthless

    * floccus, -i a wisp or piece of wool, used idiomatically as flocci non facio ("I don't give a hoot")
    * naucum, -i a trifle
    * nihil, -is nothing; something valueless (lit. "not even a thread" from ni+hilum)
    * pilus, -i a hair; a bit or a whit; something small and insignificant

Courtesy of my friend for the word and the thread title (the description he used in telling me). :P

Newby:
Err... my favorite word is... dunno!

Heh. I'll get back to you on that one.

Quik:
I like tintinnabulation.

iago:
Am I the only one who sees the irony in this thread?

That the best word ever could describe this thread?
