    If I remember correctly, the word meaning The Fear of Long Words is:

    Hippopotomonstrousequippedaliophobia.

    Would suck to be told that you have that... would send you into conniptions.

    "i dont know, but i got a feeling it has a long name"

    "well then, lets call it PEWPEWPEWPWEPOMGWPEWPEWPEWLASERGUNPEWPEWPEWPEWP"

    I dunno why, but this cracked me up. :D :D

    What ever happened to the good old-fashioned antidisestablishmentarianism?
