prettygoodwordgelotophobia (ji-LAT-uh-fo-bee-uh) - n., the fear of being laughed at.
Not to be confused with gelatophobia, the fear of jello (though that looks like it ought to be fear of ice cream). Gelotophobia is a variety of social phobia -- Wikipedia has more. The root here is Greek gelos, laughter.
