    Hmm. I bet some of these only have one fearee each. Like, someone is in therapy and they say "oh yeah, and another thing, I'm really scared of 24 hour news, it's like we can't ever escape from the misery of the world and time is pressing down on us all I want to kill someone help me"

    And then the shrink rushes to his book to check that particular fear hasn't already been taken, and writes a paper about it. But no-one else ever suffers from it in the entire history of the world. Or maybe you don't even need to do that. Perhaps it's one of those scams like buy a moon land plot or having a star named after you. Pay £50 and you get to name a phobia!

    I cannot stand chalk - even the thought of it makes me go goosebumpy (it is now even writing about it), any suggestions for a phobia name to call it?

    Reminds me of a Doctor Who episode.

    Just because you havenīt got pygmaliadevengalavidadiabolicaphobia doesnīt mean that the Autons arenīt out to get you.

    Re: Phobias

    Arachibutyrophobia is fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, and arachnophobia is a fear of spiders. If you combine the two you get "arachni-butty-phobia", which is a fear of eating a spider sandwich.

    Iīll get me coat
