Hippopotomonstroesquippedaliophobia is a humorous term that refers to the fear of long words. It’s a combination of various roots, with "hippopotamus" and "monstrous" added for comedic effect. While not a formally recognized phobia in psychological literature, it playfully highlights the irony of being afraid of long words by using one itself.
