macrolexifobia 69
It is a proposal to call the "rejection of long words" which are usually technical voices, but which in other times were convoluted terms, broad, purportedly cultured and that really sounded ridiculous. Throughout history and literature have generated taunts of intellectuals, with some curious cases such as cultilocuente, or the bulo hypopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Despite the efforts of some psychologists to give it entity, macrolexiphobia (or as it ends up calling) is clearly not a true phobia. And this etymology has some detail to be finally accepted, because the fear would not be to long words but to speech, to "express themselves in a long way and - it is supposed to - unnecessarily". The Greek word 956; 945; 954; 961; 959; 962; (macrós) means "long", but is better understood as "large in height" than in horizontal extension (as is western spelling today), and 955; 949; 958; 953; 962; ( lexis ) is "speech, expression", more than "every word". See sesquipedaliophobia, magnoverbophobia, megalogophobia, dolicologophobia.
