Ironically, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliofobia refers to the fear of long words. Breaking it down, 'sesquipedal' refers to very long words (derived from the Latin for 'measuring a foot and a half'), 'hippo' and 'monstro' also suggest something huge, and finally 'fobia' means fear. The person who invented this word just likes being a jerk.
In a Spanish class for Americans, one of the students asks, 'Professor, what is the longest word in that Spanish you speak?' The teacher searches his mind for a second, and when he finally remembers, he says, 'I am going to show you.' He goes to the board and writes Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliofobia. Since then, all the students in that class have come down with Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliofobia.
