Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis


I learnt another new word today

Floccinaucinihilipilification
(one of the longest worlds in English language)

It means: The act or habit of describing or regarding something as worthless.
A combination of four Latin words (flocci, nauci, nihili, pilifi) all signifying "at a small price" or "for nothing," which were listed together in a rule of the well-known Eton Latin Grammar.



and I've already forgotten it now..
