Want to say it backwards? x)

[Cious-do-li-a-pi-ex-tic-lis-gi-fra-li-ca-per-su-suo-ico-dila-ipx-ecit-si-li-gar-fila-crepus]


^ That's impressive. Try it.


The roots of the word have been defined as follows:
super- "above"
cali- "beauty"
fragilistic- "delicate"
expiali- "to atone"
docious- "educable".

With the sum of these parts signifying roughly; "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty."
