# Honorificabilitudinitatibus
is the ablative plural of the Latin contrived honorificabilitudinitas, which is an extension of honorificabilis meaning "honorableness." Basically.

# Or dative
presumably, if we're using Latin. But far be it from me to momize.

In English, of course, it's so much simpler just to say "honorificabilitudinity".
