Coulrophobia
(KOLE-row-FOW-bee-ya)
Noun
An abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns.

Said to be built from Greek kolon "limb," with some supposed sense of "stilt-walker," hence "clown" + -phobia. The whole creation looks suspiciously like the sort of thing idle pseudo-intellectuals invent on the Internet and which every smarty-pants takes up thereafter; perhaps it is a mangling of Modern Greek klooun "clown," which is the English word borrowed into Greek. (from etymonline.com)

Example Sentence:
"Johnny's coulrophobia prevented him from ever going with his Webelo pack to McDonald's!"
