To be honest I thought it was a Blackadder reference. But alas no.

Dr. Samuel Johnson : Here it is, sir. The very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language.
Blackadder : Every single one, sir?
Dr. Samuel Johnson : Every single word, sir!
Blackadder : Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities.
Dr. Samuel Johnson : What?
Blackadder : "contrafibularities", sir? It is a common word down our way.
Dr. Samuel Johnson : Damn! [writes in the book]
Blackadder : Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Although, to be fair 'contrafibularities' is a perfectly cromulent word.
