dandiprat (DAN-dee-prat) - n., an insignificant or contemptable person.


This one shows up in regular dictionaries. Originally, and now archaically, a small Tudor coin -- I'm seeing statements that it was worth either 1½ or 2 pence. As a coin, it dates back to the 15th century, possibly a smaller denomination, but the origin of the name is entirely unknown.

Bonus word: dowager.
