Not like any human being would honestly, actually use this word, but that's exactly the point: it's a gnomish word, embodying gnomish values, and only a gnome or gnome apologist would even use this word.
floc·cin·au·ci·nih·il·i·pil·if·i·ca·tion
(noun) : the estimation of a thing as worthless
(verb) : the act of rendering something as worthless or inconsequential
I want to buy a new car, but I am not looking forward to the floccinaucinihilipilification of my truck when I try to trade it in.
*shaking head*
Anybody even using this word in conversation rates a cockpunch.

10: Curling
Just in time for the Olympics, right? Curling. Another gnomish sport. And, yes, originally invented in Scotland, so we can blame the Scots for it, but who's to say some gnomes in Scotland didn't inspire the locals to give it a go? It certainly has the cardinal qualities of a gnomish sport: strange, wacky, pointless, ridiculous.
