At least floccinaucinihilipilification is a word, which should cheer us all.
Ask linguists round for a meal of Lopadotemakhoselakhogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakekhymenokikhlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephalliokigklopeleiolagōiosiraiobaphētraganopterýgōn and ask them to clear the matter up.

Siegelringologismus, I'm guessin'. Can you get yourself a name, Anonymous? These witty masked interlocutors are a bit disconcerting. Thanks for your sage contribution, but.
"Why is this not a word?"Remind me never to play scrabulous with you.
