That word Sunny says in THH that means something like "I haven't the faintest idea of what's going on?" or something like that. I'm SOOO confused!

"Pietrisycamollaviadelrechiotemexity," meaning "I must admit I don't have the faintest idea of what is going on." There's an old, old thread on it here. Various people have found, or attempted to find, anagrams in it, although it's unknown whether those are intentional. It's probably pronounced - or at least, I'd pronounce it this way if I could remember it - "Pie-tri-sic-amolla-vya-del-reck-eeo-tem-ecks-ity."

I say "Py-et-re-sick-a-molla-vee-a-del-rech-io-tem-ex-it-ee", more or less enunciating every syllable. It's interesting to note that this word has found its way into a few online dictionaries.

I had problems with pronouncing it while reading THH to my brother. I can sound it out in my head, but.....

Thanks, I had Dupin make it for me using two different images.
You mean in the mirror writing in TPP?

I read the backwards-spelled hotel name in TPP as something like "t'nem-ow-ned let-oh", and the backwards entrance sign as "ec-nart-nay". My mind won't make the effort to pronounce any longer bits of mirror writing, though.
