FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

(29 letters; an estimation of something as worthless) is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The OED2 shows a use of this word in a 1741 letter by William Shenstone (1714-1763), a British poet and essayist. It has been used by Sir Walter Scott and Senators Robert Byrd and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It was used by Senator Jesse Helms in 1999 during the debate on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Randolph V. Cinco. It also appeared on March 14, 1996, in "Zippy," a comic strip distributed by King Features Syndicate:

Do you think I may be too quick to find fault with things and people, Zippy?

You've been randomly reading th' dictionary, haven't you?

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Floccinaucinihilipilification is the estimation of something as valueless. Ironically, floccinaucinihilipilification is a pretty valueless word itself; it’s almost never used except as an example of a long word.

Floccinaucinihilipilification

derived from egypt in the BC age ,it means nothing, but was used as a way to confuse children untill they could not say anything but floccinaucinihilipilification, Floccinaucinihilipilification... these confused children eventually created the Floccinaucinihilipilificate language, and have layed dormant on Cinihilipili island only surviving because of the native Floccinau. The Cinihilipi have had peaceful lives until their island was invaded by the Honorificabilitudinitatibus. The Ificabili and the Cinihilipili have waged war on the island for thousands of years, only to have the Antidisestablishmentarianism invade the island. Now the Cinihilipili, the Ificabili and the Idisestabli are locked in a war like no other which is decribed by all the inhabitants of the island as Cinihilipilificabilidisestabli. that is the longest word

The Floccinaucinihilipilification people had seen many thousands of years of war and decided to make a truce between the Ificabili and the Idisestabli, but who knows how long the peace will last before another big word is banished to the island!!
