Is key to greatness

Author's Note

What the word means: A combination of four Latin words ( flocci, nauci, nihili, pilifi ) all signifying "at a small price" or "for nothing," which were listed together in a rule of the well-known Eton Latin Grammar. The kind of jocular formation that was possible among educated men in Britain around 1741.

Woh! This is so relevant to my recent conversations, it’s scary.

The combination of this giant word along side a short, concise, yet deep few lines is perfect.

It portrays an idea that seems paradoxical in society which I think forces the reader to really think.

Love it!

Ah when some one makes you feel special... it's the best thing.... And I love the title....
I had written one this ...not sure if it was correct..

It read as follows :)
My reveries about you are just
more than, "floccinaucinihilipilification".

I was inspired when one of our political guy shashi taroor used this word.....:)
He is always using such words :p

Your title caught my eye, but your poem made me smile. Words of encouragement the best multi vitamin I know.
