    Default In case that commercial has you wondering

    floccinaucinihilipilification
    Part of Speech: noun
    Definition: an act or instance of judging something to be worthless or trivial
    Etymology: the parts of the word each mean `at nothing' or `with a small price'

    I love that Geiko Commercial, but each time the spelling bee commercial comes on, I rush to copy down the spelling so i can look it up, lol. So in case anyone else is wondering, here ya go!

    I'm gonna look up the pronounciation, so I can USE it. As in, "Dear Hubby, your anxiety over whether the picture is perfectly centered is just floccinaucinihilipilification!"
