I was minding my own business one morning, munching on a piece of Mrs. Hudson's toast, when Holmes suddenly barked "Honorificabilitudinitatibus!"
I managed to splutter "I beg your pardon?"
"Honorificabilitudinitatibus, Watson. 'Of honour', more familiarly. You may place some blame for its inclusion in the canon of English at the feet of Master Shakespeare. Or if that monstrosity is not to your taste, how about 'unimaginatively', 'verisimilitudes', or 'parasitological'?"
"I don't follow you," I said.
"What do those words have in common, man? It should be simplicity itself for a fellow of your abilities."
NOTE: Before you get out your dictionaries, you don't need to know the meanings of the words, and the answer is actually very simple.
