    WOW!!!!  The return of the word Floccinaucinihilipilification.  
    When I was in grade five, oh..... 19 years ago, we used to have to 
    write the word out as punishment.  The teacher would say, "20 
    floccies" or whatever amount he felt right.
    
    In a way it was better than detention, because you could leave as 
    soon as you finished however many you had to write.  I used to 
    have some pre-written sheets of the word hidden in my desk.  
    That's right, I didn't have anything better to do in my spare 
    time.
