Ooh! Ooh! Please, sir, I know that one: it's "floccinaucinihilipilification"! (God knows why I ever learnt that -- probably some pointless schoolboy challenge 40-odd years ago!! Is that the one that means "the act of valuing as worthless", or am I confusing it with something else? Back on topic, I must admit that a lot of txtspk sails by without me noticing -- I suspect as a legacy of online chatting on DEC-10s back in the 70s, using 10cps teletypes, with a line length limit of 80 characters!
