... and assorted other phobias!
« on: September 05, 2007, 09:07:39 PM »
For those of you who never knew you had a phobia, I found this list on the website "in the headlights", which really is a great wordy place!!

Genuphobia-fear of knees
Pogonophobia-fear of beardsPhobia
Keraunothnetophobia-fear of falling man-made satellites
Achluophobia-fear of nightfall
Phengophobia-fear of daylight (vampire?)
Ablutophobia-fear of washing or bathing
Chionophobia-fear of snow
Ophidiophobia-fear of snakes
Chaetophobia-fear of hair

As you know, a phobia is an irrational anxiety or fear, which interfere with the way we lead our lives.

The first few on this list came from David Sedaris's book, Me Talk Pretty One Day.  The others are from The Phobia List, which is quite extensive.
