floccinaucinihilipilification - estimating that something is of little value

what was the name of the quiz show contestants always used that word on? (catchword? that rings a bell...)
-
Yes it was Catchword - used to love it! (And Paul Coia or whatever his name was, can't be bothered to Google!)
-
i used to watch it just to see the contestants face light up when they realised they could unleah a 'flockynocky'. smug gits.
-
Yes I think that's what killed the programme. There was another word too - some sort of scientific, chemical name or something? that was also responsible for its demise. That's going to annoy me now....
Aha - Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - now I can relax and go to work!

i want you to post a video/sound-clip of yourself pronouncing that!

Ulotrichous applies to me. I used hair straighteners on still damp hair and ended up with a big wooly tat that was a cross between a brillo pad and a ball of wool. Hence the trip to the hairdressers and the 8 inch trim . :)
-
Eeek, really? I often use straighteners on damp hair!
-
Yeah . Back in June i was going on a night out and in a hurry so quickly ran the straighteners through and the front was still damp. So everything was ok but next morning when i washed my hair the front seemed to go like elastic and stretch really long when wet then spiral up into tight ringlets which is odd on poker straight hair. There was no way of getting the huge tangle out and the hairdresser blamed straighteners on damp hair, she knew straight away and said she has seen it happen a lot.
-
Thanks for the warning - I won't be doing that again then!
-
Your hair will surely get dry and be prone to breakage if you always use straighteners while your hair is still damp.

Thats very true cookie.
