Hippopotomonstrosesquipped is the scientific term for the fear of long words, whilst the fear of everything is simply: Panophobia.
Speaking of fears, I seem aptly capable of frightening those unaccustomed to my abstract comments and wisecrack confessions of love. If you ask me, most of you may be philophobics (no, it doesn't mean your afraid of Phillipinos, it is in fact, the fear of love)!

It will, no doubt, humour you to find such strange fears worthy of scientific terms. Here are my favourites from of the A-phobias:
Alliumphobia- Fear of garlic.
Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc.
Apotemnophobia- Fear of persons with amputations.
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things.
Atomosophobia- Fear of atomic explosions.
Autodysomophobia- Fear of one that has a vile odor.
...and just one from the Z-phobias:
Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.
