(though I have a little trouble with "heteroskedasticity")

That doesn't feel particularly tongue-twisty to me, for a word of that length. Try “red lorry, yellow lorry”. :-)

Oh yes, there are other worse things of similar length. I confess that I chose that example partly because I like the word.

I think homoskedasticity has more intriguing possibilities as a desired-for attribute that begins with 'homo.'
