68227 2002-08-05 06:00:00 C'mon Grandad, that's not playing the game properly. :-(

You have to give the meaning of the word and put it in a sentence. Sending us off to another site for definitions is not permitted, it hurts my head too much.

68229 2002-08-05 06:14:00 floccinaucinihilipilification ! The spell check doesn't accept it, so it doesn't exist. :D I know what "flocculation" means, though. Graham L (2)
68230 2002-08-05 23:13:00 >>Floccinaucinihilipilification

definition:
The action or habit of judging something to be worthless.

source:
A quick Latin lesson: flocci is derived from floccus, literally a tuft of wool and the source of English words like flocculate, but figuratively in Latin something trivial; pili is likewise the plural of pilus, a hair, which we have inherited in words like depilatory, but which in Latin could meant a whit, jot, trifle or generally something insignificant; nihili is from nihil, nothing, as in words like nihilism and annihilate; nauci just means worthless.

You are dealing with the elderly confused; ?:|

I didn’t even get the subject heading right!! :O

I should have crossed my “TTTTTs” So perhaps I need to be “Billed” for my higorance.:8}

The offering came from my M.A.(English) son in London so I thought I would let it loose and sit back and wait for all the BRILLIANT responses that I have enjoyed since I found this site.:D

I am sorry about your head Susan:(–I will play by the rules in future.

Jen C:-)
Got it right ( I feel that on this occasion I might almost be guilty of pulling the wool…)

Humbly :8}

68234 2002-08-06 05:05:00 'Tis OK Grandad, I was pulling your leg. No need to apologise. :-)

I got frustrated because my dictionery didn't have that word in it and your link was to one of those awful verbose sites that give me headaches and I avoid like the plague.

Don't let my grumbling put you off - if you time it right Billy will catch them and then we'll have some fun! :D
