Sesquipedalophobia
From Conservapedia
Sesquipedalophobia (ses-quip-ped-ali-o-phob-i-a) is, as ridiculous as it may sound to many, the word devised by western medicine to refer to the fear of long words.
Symptoms
The officially officially recognized symptoms are:
- Feeling of panic
- Feeling of terror
- Feeling of dread
- Rapid heartbeat
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Trembling
- Anxiety[1]
Extreme cases
A cynical person might think this was done to make the problem worse, but for those with extreme cases of this disorder, but "Hippopotomonstro" is sometimes added to this word to represent a severe intensity of the phobia.[2] This results in the 35-letter word "Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia" sometimes misspelled with an extra "p" as "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia."
