Literally the fear of long words.

I'll try to guide you through the pronunciation

Hippo - like the animal

Poto - like pot 'o gold

Monstro - like the whale from Pinocchio

Ses - like yes but with an "s"

Quip - like a smart remark

Pedal - like on a bike but the "AL" sounds like it does in the name Allen

Io - like "ee" oh

Phobia - like the fear

Also one more for fun

The longest word I know and use regularly is Floccinaucinihilipilification.

It is made up of 4 Latin words Flocci Nauci Nihili and Pili all meaning an act of estimating something as useless.

When put together the meaning is the same, but it is in the Oxford English Dictionary..

Not THE longest, but I admit, I would have to look that one up first.. this is all from pure memory.
