Mouse, I think you've one-upped my answer (up to that DNA thing), but what does it mean?
And can you say it? Properly, that is... [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 06-03-2004, 10:44 PM: Message edited by: Bungleau ]

I'd rather not shoot for the longest words, since place names and scientific terms almost always take the cake -- except for that damned Marry Poppins word, of course.
Anyway, I'll mention some annoying an quirky words: "Remarkable." I hate this word unless it is used alone as a sentence, perhaps with an exclamation. Generally, it has no meaning. If you said anything, of course it was a remark, and the thing you are speaking of was, accordingly, remarkable. Careering and Careening. Do we need both? Uncouth. I hate words with prefixes that have no associated word that does not have the prefix. I will note that "couth" now exists in some dictionaries, with the notation that it is a back-formation from uncouth. |

It means the act of judging something to be worthless.
