Lets just go and find one of those extremely comprehensive dictionaries that have the older origins of every single word eh?
I don't have one, so I'll just use some online etymology websites for now.

Also, "the" is only in English, why does everyone always assume that words have to be verbs or nouns?
So? Accoring to wiki, "the" stems from Old English "se".
Where did this language get it from? I don't know. Does that mean it was an invention? Or did it perhaps stem from the French word "le"?

The online sources I could find on the spot aren't that extensive and even if I found a source for "se", going back further and further would make it more difficult to find any more info.
And honestly, I don't care enough.
Damn it, Jim, I'm a physician, not an etymologist!

floccinaucinihilipilification-the estimation of something as valueless

Lol. Oh man, I in no way have the guts to ask you test that out on my own person, but I would totally sit in the room with popcorn if you could make a normally american chick start spouting hebrew or something. Would be FUNNY!

Hold up
Your right hand can talk?!
Also, Waggle.
Seriously? Thats the best retort you can come up with? Implying that my hand is somehow a different gender than the rest of me? I don't think i've ever heard worse... wait.... no. I haven't. You filled your pail with fail really fast on that one.

"respite"

Because apparently it's pronounced "ress-pit" and I've always said "reh-spite"

Floccinaucinihilipilification, the complete insignificance of something.

Doesn't sound English, or even real.

Im sorry, you're right. I mean, a guy talking about his sex life on the escapist? That's so unique! Oh my God, it must be true.
Hey everyone come over here, this guy says hes had alot of sex!!
Or..or.. maybe having to brag on the Escapist means that you're 'Full of the shit'
Here let me douse some of my pail on you mate. Feels good dunnit?

Wow, i didn't realize that making an ad hominem funny with someone else gave you the right to come in and attack me. Awesome display of respect there skippy. Heres some advice, let other people make their jokes and leave them be.

The full chemical name of Titin is 189,819 letters long. I bet the name sounds fake.
