Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

A word someone made up to screw with people who are diagnosed with a fear of long words.

C'mon you know it's true!

Person who coined the term: So what's her deal?
Colleague: Oh, she's afraid of long words. Do we even have a word for that?
Person who coined the term: You know what we should call it? Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!
Colleague: That's just wrong.
