picayune
Barely worth mentioning
Picayune means trivial or of little value.
The word carries a dismissive tone—something picayune isn't just small, it's petty or not worth serious attention: He obsessed over picayune details while ignoring the real problems.
As a noun, a picayune was a coin of small denomination, now obsolete except in the newspaper name *Times-Picayune*.
