"Niggardly" (noun: "niggard") is an adjective meaning "stingy" or "miserly", related to the Norwegian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language) verb nigle. It is cognate with "niggling", meaning "petty" or "unimportant", as in "the niggling details"
"That man is acting niggardly"

Back in 2005, I wrote a college paper where the ONLY word appropriate was "niggardly". I had a long debate with my roomie over whether or not it should be put in the paper or whether it'd be misconstrued, and I decided I'd do it. I turned in the paper and got locked in the looney bin for a month, never seeing that professor (who was a total babe with the hots for me) again. I never found out what grade I got for that paper, but the professor emailed me all like, "I'm sorry you missed class for a month, do you want to talk about dropping?" and I ignored it because I was kicked out of school and that was in the realm of other people's problems.

Titin's IUPAC name is about 189,819 letters long, but it's disputed whether or not it should be recognized as a word or not.
Also, I find it humorous that my computer's spell check recognizes hooker as a word.
