  • Oh god this entry pains me. First, it's a dictdef. Second, it's one of those made-up words that nobody actually uses except to say "Look! I know a long word!" Finally, it's not even spelled right. Delete. RSpeer 20:22, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Googling it, the dicdef doesn't seem to be right. Fx [1] says that it really means "the act of estimating as worthless". So I will floccinaucinihilipilificate the article and say delete :P. Thue | talk 20:41, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Your reference is correct. I remember checking this in the 1960s. At that time, the word was found in the OED but not in Webster's New International (Second edition, of course--the one without ain't).
  • Delete. Dictdef substub. Gwalla | Talk 23:04, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm nominating this for speedy deletion because not only is is a dicdef, it's the wrong dicdef, and it's spelled wrong (the proper spelling is FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION.
