~*~*~*~Words of Interest~*~*~*~

[Gertrude McFuzz]

This thread is for any words you came across that you thought were cool. We all need an absurd vocabulary, right?

RULES:
- READ THE RULES AND OBEY THEM!
- Under all circumstances NO SWEARING!!!
- NO INAPPROPRIATE WORDS!!!
- List the word and the pronunciation and definition of the word.
- Have fun expanding your vocabulary!

Not very subtle, but it gets the meaning to you.

I'll begin:

-Floccinaucinihilipilification (floc·ci·nau·ci·ni·hil·i·pil·i·fi·ca·tion): the estimation of something as valueless.

I highly doubt anyone will remember this word. Or use it. Ever.

and pronounced it as floccinaucinihilipiification.

A strange and useless word to say "worthless".

 

[Gertrude McFuzz]

Yes, but it makes you sound professional. Or absurd. Same difference.

-Dermatoglyphics (der·ma·to·glyph·ics): the science of the study of skin patterns.
