defrogCross-posted from thewhyfive. This week’s assignment: Top 5 Irrational Fears!
Actually, I only have two irrational fears – arachnophobia (which technically isn’t irrational – not to me – but I’m trying to get over it anyway) and the one where you hate calling strangers on the phone for any reason. So I thought instead I’d name five real phobias that I find amusing (and yes, I know, they wouldn’t be nearly as funny if I suffered from them, but that’s comedy for you).
DEF FROG’S TOP FIVE PHOBIAS
1. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia: Fear of the number 666
2. Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns
3. Ephebiphobia: Fear of teenagers
4. Lutraphobia: Fear of otters
5. Arachibutyrophobia: Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
HONORABLE MENTION
Phobophobia: Fear of phobias (FDR suffered from it, you know)
Okay. Back to work.
Fearless,
This is dF
