REVALICIOUS

Just Cut and Paste Darlin!  No thought involved...  :D
Whew!  I was beginning to think I was really out of my league in your company... :crazy:

...might make my Tampa trip seem like you're just talking to a potato or something!   :rofl:  Me being the potato, of course...
Yeah I have been a Google beeeoootch for about 5 years now... Best stuff out there, it out muscles all the rest, hands down... If google cannot find it, it's not out there...

I read about Google years ago in (clearing throat here) Playboy magazine (yeah, I read the articles, and the hubby, well, you know)...

...it certainly wasn't well known at the time, and when coworkers saw "Google" across the screen, they'd always ask what it was, how'd I find it, etc...never could bring myself to admit I read about it in a men's "entertainment" magazine! :)

The potato comment...if you really went on and on like you did earlier with your cutting and pasting, I'd be as smart as a potato next to that...hell, the potato might be smarter compared to this look :eek: on my face! :D
 
Those magazines always have very interesting articles.
After reading one, I always feel a lot better about myself.
It's added knowledge and insight on a lot of different subjects.
:D :D :D :D :D
 
FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION
The action or habit of judging something to be worthless.
Back in the eighteenth century, Eton College had a grammar book which listed a set of words from Latin which all meant “of little or no valueâ€￾. In order, those were flocci, nauci, nihili, and pili (which sound like four of the seven dwarves, Roman version, but I digress). As a learned joke, somebody put all four of these together and then stuck –fication on the end to make a noun for the act of deciding that something is totally and absolutely valueless (a verb, floccinaucinihilipilificate, to judge a thing to be valueless, could also be constructed, but hardly anybody ever does). The first recorded use is by William Shenstone in a letter in 1741: “I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of moneyâ€￾.
A quick Latin lesson: flocci is derived from floccus, literally a tuft of wool and the source of English words like flocculate, but figuratively in Latin something trivial; pili is likewise the plural of pilus, a hair, which we have inherited in words like depilatory, but which in Latin could meant a whit, jot, trifle or generally something insignificant; nihili is from nihil, nothing, as in words like nihilism and annihilate; nauci just means worthless.
The word’s main function is to be trotted out as an example of a long word (it was the longest in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary but was supplanted by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in the second). It had a rare public airing in 1999 when Senator Jesse Helms used it in commenting on the demise of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: “I note your distress at my floccinaucinihilipilification of the CTBTâ€￾.
