At last, an English word with three consecutive I's. And who can spot the bonus word? Hint, it starts with "Nin".

Entering in Google

nin*iii

gets 28,000 hits. But we need to know the ground rules. For instance, what if the "iii" is separated from the rest of the word by a dot

Or if it's in caps, etc

Aheh, true neologism meaning, I am such a doofus expressed as a half laugh offered as a non-negative response or to express surprise
