Try removing the hippo part.

Isn't the term sesquipedalophobia. And that my friend is a VERY bad pun. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Aye, it is. The hippo part must be the fear of the word hippopotamus.. *shrugs*

I'll never have a phobia! I'm unnaturally frightened of them! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Do you know what "Mysophobia" is?

Mysophobia: the fear of dirt, being dirty, or contamination.
My dad's (very famous) cousin suffered from it...he is probably more remembered for that than he is for who he was.
