Yeah, try pronuncing that first!! It took me umpteen attempts to get it and even then am not sure if I am saying it correctly or not :-D To know what it means, check out www.dictionary.com (or google or any other site u like!) :-P To give you a clue, it kind of describes what I write ;-) And before you jump to any conclusions about me becoming a word maven, let me be honest and point out that I discovered this word by chance - for a change I read one of the vocab newsletters I have subscribed to! To use it in a sentence (the best I can do as of now) : "I shall not tolerate the floccinaucinihilipilification of my ramblings!"
Which brings me to the other word I learnt: Weltschmerz! Don't scratch your head - it is not someone's name, but a word of German origin! Can be used to effectively describe one's feelings at the current state of affairs in our country! Yups, for some reason, sitting here, I rarely feel optimistic about the future of our country!
And lastly, a welcome to the one n only Motasaheb to world of blogging! he finally agreed to hear poor JJ sarkar's repeated pleas and has guest blogged on his blogosphere! In true Motasaheb style,the blog showcases his unique gift which uptil recently only we blessed Trojans had witnessed! Now the ROW can also experience the same at:

Dadasaheb... time n time again i need to remind you of our treaty.... and just to clarify i am not entering the word of blogging...the things is a simple soul like me cannot even think of not following Sarkar's wish.
Interesting blog by the way.... the word means "nothing"...ironic. Also while searching found this interesting fact
"the ancient Greek comedic playwright Aristophanes created: Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphio-paraomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonop-tekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon, a word of 183 letters that describes a dish by stringing together its ingredients.
The writer Cory Brait's short story "Worduliscious" contains the following lettered wonder: Anteantimacabrecantysobradoraflanxadoxicalloussousphliacs, which was said in the book to have a vague meaning of before the people against loving things that don't make sense. [8]
James Joyce made up nine 100 and one 101-letter words in his novel Finnegans Wake, the most famous of which is Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk. Appearing on the first page, it allegedly represents the symbolic thunderclap associated with the fall of Adam and Eve. As it appears nowhere else except in this passage, it is generally not accepted as a real word. "
