Word of the Day ~ June 6
honorificabilitudinity (ON-uh-rif-i-kay-bi-li-too-DIN-i-tee, -tyoo-) noun
Honorableness.
[From Medieval Latin honorificabilitudinitas, from Latin honor.]
Another form of this, honorificabilitudinitatibus (27 letters), is thelongest word Shakespeare ever used.
It comes out of the mouth of Costard,the clown, in Love's Labour's Lost:
"I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word; for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier swallowed than a flap-dragon."
I am not even going to attempt a sentence with this one, if you get one ~ you are deemed awesome in my book!!!
