      Impressive you’re asking! It means that you don’t think something is very important and saying it.

      I love long words and the origins of words and stuff.

      Flaucinaucinihilifilipilification means thinking something is worthless.
      It is actually made up of a bunch of latin words that each mean ‘something of little or no value’: Flocci, Nauci, Nihili, and Pili.

      It’s like making a word to mean nothing that looks like Zerozilchnadanowt! Actually, that’s an awesome word I made up! I am totally as good as Shakespeare at making up words! 😉
