<p>Yeah, so I remember I had to memorize a list of phobias for a vocab test, and some were weird but some were outright hilarious. </p>

<p>Like seriously they just made me laugh and easily committed to memory.</p>

<p>Here's quite a bit that I still remember (and looked up for spelling, AND in addition found some more interesting ones), some hilarious, some amusing, feel free to add more or comment.</p>

<p>I honestly had NO idea, not even the slightest idea that some of these words even existed.</p>

<p>phobia only exists when you want it to. there is no such thing as fear.</p>

3

<p>Atelophobia sounds like CC... =]</p>

4

<p>Atelophobia- Fear of imperfection.</p>

<p>That's mine baby.</p>

5

<p>My personal favorite is panophobia: the fear of everything.</p>

<p>Well, aren't you clever...</p>

<p>EDIT: Chrematophobia still gets my vote. Fear of money? Well, that was the strongest impression I had when I first saw the list, now I'm not so sure cuz there's so many good ones.</p>

<p>Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect *****</p>

<p>HAHAHAAHAH, but what if you're a guy??</p>

<p>my odd phobia: escallators...also known as escalatoria</p>

<p>I fell down this really long one at the metro (subway) when I was 5 because the escallator suddenly stopped when I was prancing around (yeah- we got a fair amount of money from the incident... it's amazing what a few broken bones and a cute face will do for a jury).</p>

<p>Anyway, still afraid of them. I can now go down the short ones, but still.</p>

<p>Hey JY...I had that fear too....my Mom put up with it for a long time. Had to find the elevator every time we went shopping. Lasted until I went to the mall with a friend and her mom. The mom had no clue about my fear and basically shoved me onto the escalator....ta da....I'm cured! But I hated the friends mom for it!</p>

<p>Where's the "fear of stupid people" option?</p>

Retardophobia. ;)</p>

<p>seriously though I have yet to find a word for that, maybe you should invent one yourself.</p>

12

<p>I have emetophobia, which is the fear of vomit/vomiting...</p>

13

<p>hahaha! this is a hilarious thread!</p>

14

<p>Phobephobia - the fear of fear itself. The only true phobia according to FDR.</p>

15

<p>I remember reading a long time ago that there is actually a fear of ugly people! I about died when I read it. Perhaps, it was the use of the word ugly, instead of unattractive. Anyways, it is called "Unatractiphobia."</p>

16

<p>If a chicken were money, would a chicken be evil?</p>

17

<p>^^^ If a chicken were money, it wouldn't be a chicken...it would be money.</p>

18

<p>Ophthalmophobia- Fear of opening one’s eyes</p>

19

<p>Only thing worse than that is probably Closaphobia, the fear of closing one's eyes. =(</p>

<p>And LOL: Octophobia is the fear of the number 8!</p>

<p>^You can create lots of phobias by tacking together Greek roots. I would assume that "nonophobia" is probably fear of the number nine. The classic triskaidekaphobia is fear of the humber 13.</p>
