Guest #12 August 7, 2003 Floccinaucinihilipilification "The act of dismissing as worthless". edit to add: Please note that I did not have to look up either the spelling of this word or its meaning. In fact, it was the Oxford Dictionary's example of "longest word" until supplanted by the "vulcanosis" mouthful shown above, and I just read that's it's the longest non-scientific or medical term in the English language. I'm smarter than that I'll work it out - I'll be stretching my mouth To let those big words come right out..." "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

Guest #21 August 7, 2003 Quote"I apologize" I was going to be philosophical and remark that the words "I'm sorry" are some of the most underused, but I thought I'd rather be a smarty-pants instead. Thanks, Andrea, for stating the meaningful. "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
