Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - the fear of long words.
To break it down into pronouncable segments: "Hippo-pot-o-monstro-ses-quip-ed-al-io-phobia."
Erinaceous - "Of, pertaining to, or resembling a hedgehog."
Kerfuffle - you probably already know what it means. It's a wonderful word :)

I like pretty words, like limerence (being infatuated with another person) or hiraeth (a longing for a home you can't return to, or that never was). Petrichor (the earthy smell after rain) is another favorite of mine!

Let's see if I can spell this....
Hippopotomonstrousesquipadaliaphobia
Did I do that right? I doubt it. XD I've only watched the video, heard it, and seen it a very few times. It means the fear of long words, ironic as it is. (I almost said ironical... What the? XD) I know someone already mentioned this, but it's one of the only big words I know.
