Saru Posted April 19, 2002 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words How sick is the person who made that one up ! The last thing someone with a fear of long words is going to want is to have to tell people that they suffer from Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. :s4 :s07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted April 19, 2002 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Hmmm, it starts with "Hippopotomo" , and has "monstro" and "quipped" in it. I think someone made that up as a joke. It doesn't really seem too believable to be honest. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 19, 2002 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2002 SaRuMaN, I agree that it doesn't sound believable, but if you plug that name in google.com, it seems to be legitimate. As an example: CLICK HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonboy Posted April 19, 2002 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2002 [blue]How can anyone be frightened of chins for crikey's sake? Personally I have two fears: big insects and open water. I think the latter is due to seeing Jaws at an early age, like too early. And big insects are just gross, man. [/blue] :s08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
