floccinaucinihilipilification
(FLOK-sih-noh-see-NEE-hee-lee-PEE-lih-fih-KAY-shun)

The estimation of something as worthless.
The term is usually used as an example of a very long word. It originates from the Latin words flocci, nauci and pili, and it appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary's first edition (published in separate sections between 1884-1928). The Dictionary cites it as humorous and gives the following examples of its usage:

I loved him for nothing so much as his floccinaucinihilipilification of money. — William Shenstone, Letters
They must be taken with an air of contempt, a floccinaucinihilipilification of all that can gratify the outward man. — Sir Walter Scott, Journal

It is mentioned by the character Costard in Act V, Scene I of William Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.

Lake Chaubunagungamaug

Lake Chaubunagungamaug (pronounced /tʃəˌbʌnəˈgʌŋgəmɑːg/), also known as Webster Lake, is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, United States. It is located near the Connecticut border and has a surface area of 1,442 acres (5.83 km²). The translation of the name of the lake is believed to be, "Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds". This is different from the translation, "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle", a hoax believed to have been concocted by the late Laurence J. Daly, a Worcester newspaper correspondent.

Today, "Webster Lake" may be the name most used, but some (including many residents of Webster), take pride in reeling off the longer versions.
