Hippopottomonstrosesquipadaliaphobia is the word you’re looking for, when you want to describe “a fear of long words” in a snappy way.

Oh, the irony.

My foster son taught me this, and it appealed to his sense of humour as much as it does to mine. There is now, inevitably, a tune for the word and a song on the way.

It should be a great singalong.

ps. Songs can be about anything you damn well like. They don’t just have to be about Lurve. Not even on Valentine’s Day.
