Trivia – the longest word in the dictionary

Was cleaning out my hard drive when I found this bit of trivia stashed in the recesses of my archives:

Floccipaucinihilipilification, at 29 letters, is the longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary (at least it was the
last time I read the book cover to cover). The word means judging something to be worthless.
