floccinaucinihilipilification
[flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuhn]
the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.
Latin flocci + nauci + nihili + pili all meaning “of little or no value, trifling”
Plenty of opportunities to use this word on the O-T

I have learned to hold back from using fun, unusual words in conversations, even if an opportunity presents itself. Usually what ends up happening is that you use the fun word, the person stares at you blankly, you have to explain what the word means, then the whole momentum of the conversation is ruined, and you spend the rest of the time thinking about what a pretentious jerk your interlocutor thinks you are. Not worth it.

Then a few months later you’re visiting your obstetrician, due to having been obliterated by an obtuse oblong object, amarite?

That's sort of what happened to the guy who said "niggardly" (an adjective meaning "stingy" or "miserly") in reference to a budget. An ignorant coworker got upset and caused such a ruckus that the guy had to resign from his job. The Wiki entry on the word is full of similar examples, but also others where people used it intentionally in a veiled racist way.
Penultimate is a good word, but most people don't know its correct meaning, so it's best not use it. Dumbasses will misunderstand, so pick another word.
