I have this dictionary app on my iPhone, and every day it sends me a 'new' word. Today's word was a doozy. Floccinaucinihilipilification is one of the longest words in our English language and means: the estimation of something as valueless. With a whopping 12 syllables to it's pronunciation, it takes a while just to figure out how to say it, remembering it is another thing.
I look at it as, making a mountain out of mole hill. How can something that is valueless have such a big word attached to it? I think it's when we give way too much value to something that does not deserve any of our time or effort.
I think about the lies we believe about our selves, that you're worthless, or unwanted. Those lies are floccinaucinilipilification. Giving value to a lie is not worth it. Seeing things in the true light is.
Put an end to the floccinaucinihilpilification in your life! Or take speech lessons to learn to say the word.
Just having a little fun with words on the last day of Homeschooling my kids!
