Phobiamania!

Now this is not exactly a quiz, nevertheless, it's GK. I've always been fascinated by the different kinds of phobias -- fears. So here are a few funny ones:-
  1. Fear of bathing - Ablutophobia
  2. Fear of dancing - Chorophobia
  3. Fear of home - Ecophobia
  4. Fear of worms - Scoleciphobia
    And finally, the one I've been waiting to reveal:-

    5. Fear of long words.........(drum roll)

HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA
The poor doctor won't be able to tell a patient suffering from this exactly what he's suffering from!!
