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.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

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
