Lexo - From the greek meaning - words
Phobia - From the greek meaning - fear

Lexo-phobia - a fear of words.

Words which sounds horrible, are awkward to pronounce, create unsavoury imagery, or just make you feel sick
good examples are...

as "Choc", "biccy", "puddy", "sachet", "pamphlet", "figgy pudding", "Schloer", "slurry", "membrane"...etc.
