Floccinaucical is a site about the things that interest me. This includes history, current events, cultures, books, music, art, language, and food.
The word Floccinaucical is a backformation from floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning “inconsiderable or trifling.”
The OED offers this regarding the lemma floccinaucical:
[f. L. flocci, nauci, nihili, pili words signifying ‘at a small price’ or ‘at nothing’ enumerated in a well-known rule of the Eton Latin Grammar + –FICATION.]
The action or habit of estimating as worthless.
