    Floccinaucinihilipilification.​

    No, seriously.

    Any more awesome words like this anyone wants to share? ;)

    "My teacher says I need to vary my vocabulary, but I'm so hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobic that I can't."

    I would die laughing if this word ever actually came up in a spelling bee or whatever. And my new goal is to somehow use it in casual conversation.

    Due to my extreme Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia I cannot help but floccinaucinihilipilificate the '10 dollar words' that pervade modern philosophical texts.
