Google doesn't detect yours. Is that possible there is no material about this word all through the world wide web?
It even doesn't find your post.

God, sometimes I almost give up completely on the human race for the stupid things they do. The freaking word is longer than the description, and considering what the description says, thats just not right.

That makes this whole thing abstract. It also gives sense to this thread.

I can testify that that is indeed a word, because it was in the script of a play that my drama club did.
