Things what happen in quiz shows.



Pisses me off that the old people introduce themselves as a 'retired teacher/civil servant/burglar' instead of just 'retired'. You are retired from work, what you used to do for a livivng is, at this moment in time, irrelevant. Anyway what if you didn't have a career or you had a number of different jobs ? Can you go on as a 'retired benefit claimant' ?
Or the unemployed bit. Meet Frank. He’s an unemployed truck driver. Well done Frank. Next time I’m on a quiz show I won’t say what my real job is. Meet EJK. He’s an unemployed particle physicist.
 
I can’t remember that and I certainly don’t know what the word means!

Declaring something as worthless.
  1. the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.

Ah you Googled it too. ;)

There was a round where they had to construct a dead long word containing 3 letters in order.

ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM
That round became the entire focus of the late 80s/early 90s series Catchword, presented by genial Glaswegian Paul Coia.

FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

On a related note, as "lines" at school once I had to write a hundred times "I must not get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis".

I never did get it. Nor did I ever forget how to spell it.
