waht a fun word!!!!!

Answer 2

Floccinaucinihilipilification listen (help·info) (American English: listen (help·info)) is "the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation".

With 29 letters, it is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, which presents it "as enumerated in a well-known rule from the Eton Latin Grammar". The OED dates its first use in literature at 1741 in William Shenstone's Works in Prose and Verse: "I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of money".

Though the OED gives no specifics on its derivation, the word is said to have been invented as an erudite joke by a student of Eton College, who, upon consulting a Latin textbook, found four words connoting 'nothing' or 'worthless', combined them, and added verb endings:

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
pilus, -i a hair; a bit or a whit; something small and insignificant
facio, facere, feci, factus make or do
