Phobia
Fear of Long Words – Phobia
There is a term especially for the fear of long words and I must say the word itself is pretty fearsome.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedalio
It is not only a mouthful, it is almost unpronounceable as well.
when I was a little girl and just beginning to write my own name, for a day I was in bits and in a temper because I could not write my name which was made up of only four letters. My Auntie Glor patiently taught me how to make a J, E, A, and N.
But what if I had been named like that daughter of the doomed lover Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence.
Imagine learning to write Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence.
Omigod, fear alert, fear alert. I am hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic! ecckkkk
