Here's a mouthful of a word for you: Floccinaucinihilipilification. This word means "an estimation of something as useless". This word dates back to around the 1740's and is the longest word in the first Oxford English Dictionary. The 1992 Guinness Book calls Floccinaucinihilipilification the longest real word in the English language. One interesting note is that the letter E is one of the most common letters in the English language, and it is not found in this word. However, count the times the letter I is found: 9 times.
Bet you didn't know that!
