Ironically, the fear of long words.
"sesquippedalio" relates to long words
"phobia" is an irrational fear
"hippopoto" and "monstro" (short for hippopotamus and monster) exaggerate the length of the word
synonym: sesquippedaliophobia means exactly the same thing
alt spellings: "pedalio" instead of "ppedalio"

Basically phobophobia (afraid of being afraid) but means fear of long words. Named by some random jerk who was prob a bully. More commonly known as sesquippedaliophobia.
Doctor: So, Bob, how are you doing?
Mom: Actually whenever I say a long word he screams and runs like crazy
Doctor: Mmmhmm,ok.
*some tests later*
Doctor: Bob, I am afraid to tell you that you have hippopotomonstro-
Bob: Please no *covers ears*
