Hello, I'm Dontlistentome and I have to say I disagree with the above interpretation. I think the Word is misspelled in the question. The Word "floccinaucinihilipilification", meaning the habit of seeing everything as worthless, is pronounced

floksin-ossi-niali-pilifi-kayshun.

There is a distinct "k" sound in the first part as the Word comes from "floc" (as in "flocculent") meaning a wisp of wool typically, as in something virtually insignificant, or in this case where flocculent refers to the aggregation of insignificant particles. The "nihil" part is pronounced "nial" as in "nihilist".
