One of the most useless words in the English language is "whatsoever". (None whatsoever is already none). Any other nominations for the list?

No words are useless. Given a suitable context, any word can be the "mot juste".

Irregardless.
Mind you, at a job I had last century, I and a colleague were conspiring at one point and we used it as a code word on phone calls to say "please disregard anything I might say beyond this point because the boss has just walked in".

Of course if a "word" isn't actually a word, you can get around this prescription. "Irregardless" is not a word and never has been.
To which the Wittgensteinian part of me retorts "define what a word is".
So I'm asking: what is a word?

You. You have to prove that òpidubvè97r is also a word with a commonly acknowledged notion and others would have to confirm.

It could be passed off as a password, so at least in that sense, it's a word. On the other hand, now it's been published, it wouldn't be a good idea to use it as a password, so its practical use is past time. We can still pass our time debating it, though, as a sort of pastime.

I would suggest using it as a word for a future pasty rather than as a password. If we agree, we have a word and you'll have my word that it is a word, commonly agreed and acknowledged as such and with a meaning. A password hasn't a meaning, it is only an assembly of characters for a fixed purpose and not for communication.

A word needs to have a meaning. So what you wrote does not qualify.
