Sesquipedalofilia

Amore per le parole di vasta lunghezza / eccitazione erotico-sentimentale provocata dalla lettura o dall'ascolto di parole lunghe.
Da "Sesquipedale" (estremamente lungo) + "filia" (amore, passione).

"Sesquipedalofilo" o "Sesquipedalofila" è colui o colei che si ritrova in questa definizione.

"Credo di essere sesquipedalofilo!" Amo le parole lunghe."
"La mia sesquipedalofilia è estrema: mi piacciono tantissimo parole di oltre 40 caratteri".
