I learned a new word today: Quiddity.  Definition:  the essential nature or quality of something that makes it different and distinct from other things and establishes its identity. — quidditative, adj.

I got it from reading the current issue of "Order of the stick". #1141.

Antidisestablishmentarianism. opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England as the official state religion of England, Ireland & Wales. When we had a history essay to do when we were fourteen me and my friend Eric decided to see how many times we could use this word in it. As our topic was the inter war years (1919 to 1938) and the rise of Germany this wasn't easy, but I managed what I feel is a pretty heroic 14 times.
Hail to thyself
