The objects that Margaret finally decided to throw out were separated from the rest of the junk in her room by floccinaucinihilipilification.


Did I use that properly? Anyway, I generally prefer posting words that actually look like words and that can be used if properly integrated into one's vocabulary, but this one looked so fun and actually WASN'T a scientific term. So. There you go. On time and everything.

I love this word! Especially because I think it does come from a scientific turn. I remember learning about water purification or something and one of the steps is called floccination or something, involving separating out the sediments... I don't know, but I thought it was interesting.

...This was one of my spelling words in fifth grade.

It was a special bonus word. By getting it right on the test, I was exempted from doing one week's vocabulary unit.

It's a fun challenge to even try to SAY it. I have to klook at the phonetic part not the actual word, to even attempt it !
