anachrospectalithophobia

noun. See below--if you haven't been killed or de-spectacled by rock-wielding savages yet.

Real citation: "2. I confessed to Jay today that one of my recurring worries is that I will time travel to ancient times and not be able to keep my glasses safe and hidden. He invented the term 'anachrospectalithophobia': fear of being stoned to death for wearing glasses before they were invented."

Made-up citation: "As a glasses-wearer and time-machine-haver, I am concerned about anachrospectalithophobia. Soon I will test my hypothesis that it can be cured through beer."
