Contrafibularities

This is not, I must confess, a real word. But it is taken from Blackadder 3, when Edmund Blackadder says, “Well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities” to Doctor Samuel Johnson, author of the dictionary, who subsequently scribbles yet more words down. I hope for the day that it is classified as a real word.
