how about sesquipedalianism?

translation: use of very long words! (literally, use of words that are a foot and a half long)

I learned it from my long ago therapist in another city, when I complained once that he tended to use words I didn't understand. He acknowledged that he does do that and then told me there is even a word to describe someone who does that! I got such a kick out of that.
