from Why We Do What We Do · host Abraham
The fear of long words has 36 letters, making it one of the longest words in the English language: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Also called simply sesquippedaliophobia. Who has this and how prevalent is this fear? Not very many and not very. Also, it is unofficial. Let's listen to two guys struggle to talk through this.
