I don't have it but I find it weird that the fear of long words is actually a long word itself. :P

They call it that because it is a long word and it will drive the people that have a fear of long words crazy! Oh no! We are all going to die!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

Why, that's preposterous! How could anyone with such a condition as the aforementioned phobia even contemplate utilising this considerably extensive utterance to elucidate their particular affliction?

This is utterly outrageous and the situation must be rectified immediately, otherwise the offending parties will castigated profusely for their wrongdoings in this matter.
