"Nomophobia"? Who invents these words? How about lexiphobia, the fear of not having an erudite-sounding but meaningless polysyllable on the tip of one's tongue at the perfect moment?
The British Post Office invented it to advertise something or other. I assume it was a joke based on no-mobile-pho(ne|bia).

Also, wiktionary tells me nomophobia already means fear of laws.
