Come on. You know you want to.
At lunch today my daughter handed me an index card with this word on it.
Floccinaucinihilipilification : noun, the act of declaring something worthless.
Apparently it's the longest word in the English language that does not contain the letter 'e'.
When I read this, I immediatley thought of this article which I'd seen last week. Nothing fits floccinaucin...whatever, better than the literary product of a member of the cast of The Jersey Shore.
So what would you like to floccinaucinihilipilificate? In addition to anything written by Snookie, I think we should consider nominating all sesquipedelian words for floccin...whatever...fication. Who's with me?

I second that nomination!
Wow, what a word. I don't think I'd even attempt to pronounce it.
I can think of a lot of things I'd apply it to, but I'd better leave the snark to others.
