Word for the day lilliputian

I believe it was Georgiaxplant who used this word recently.

Lilliputian
[lil-i-pyoo-shuh n]

adjective

1. extremely small; tiny; diminutive.

2. petty; trivial:Our worries are Lilliputian when compared with those of people whose nations are at war.

noun a 6-inch tall inhabitant of Lilliput in the novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

Since the word is derived from a proper noun it is sometimes capitalized.

Good word Josiah.....I could use that today. Lol lol lol But I won't. Happy Easter Josiah.
 

Ha! Yes, I did use that word in regard to the size of my teeny tiny living space. It's tiny but not so tiny that it couldn't house an entire village of Lilliputians:D
