Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. Does anyone else find it totally messed that the name of the phobia is itself a long word? I bet that was done deliberately too LOL.
 
HAHA THATS SO HILARIOUS!

Good job to whoever made that word and knew what it defined

Im not even going to try to attempt to pronounce that word. Someone record their attempts and attach them to this thread.

I've heard of the word before, It's so messed up that it's so long. It's like it's laughing at people who are afraid of long words.
 
ahaha, I tried to prounounce it very slowly.. I think I did good.

Can't record with this puter though.
 
I find it really silly that a fear of long words has an extra long title like that haha.
 
lol I wonder what it would be like if someone announced that they had that fear. It would be like I have... hippopot... Ahhh!

LOL, I saw that and my first impression was WTF! I thhought there was some weird animal with that name or something. Hah. Like Nebulous, I'm not even going to bother to try to announce it.
 
I probably wouldn't scream... I would just be ridicoulously dumbfounded lol.
