Non-BizTalk fun: Floccinaucinihilipilification

I have had a love of words since I was a kid. Today, I was introduced quite by accident to 2 new words courtesy of a colleague who will remain nameless.

We've all met people who indulge exclusively in the first and I imagine we've all experienced the second.

Floccinaucinihilipilification
The act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation

Shoeburyness
The vague uncomfortable feeling you get when sitting on a seat which is still warm from somebody else's bottom -(credited to Douglas Adams)
