What a weird word!

 

It's pretty normal for a French word. My favorite is vraisemblablement.

 

LOL! I listened to the pronunciation in Google translate and what I heard sounded like Joey in the Friends episode in which he thinks he can speak French.

PS-- that is WAY too many syllables to convey the simple word "likely". Such an inefficient language!

 

Oh de foof!

 

Bluh de bloop blop!

 

I assume you don't mean the "those who deny" usage. That's easy: deny-ers.
