As the court notes, "It means the habit of estimating things as worthless or of belittling the achievements of others." I don't want to even try to pronounce it. I wonder if you can make it a verb. Another moment of unnecessary indulgence by the court.

floccinaucinihilipilification
floccinaucinihilipilification was used in a Maryland Court of Special Appeals case involving real property evaluation. If you don't believe me, it's here: Baltimore v. Kelso Corp., 46 Md. App. 285 (1980).
As the court notes, "It means the habit of estimating things as worthless or of belittling the achievements of others." I don't want to even try to pronounce it. I wonder if you can make it a verb. Another moment of unnecessary indulgence by the court.
