and two that I struggle with in a major way:
judosimianiaphobia fear of karate monkeys.
conflagrantrockymountaincanaryeophobia fear of fiery donkeys.
Very funny. I’m barely awake and not feeling creative, but thanks for the smiles
Pognophobia always makes me giggle. Not because a fear of beards is funny but because the sound of the word amuses me.
Pog, pog, pog.
He he.
Coulrophobia…fear of clowns…
I really truly want to punch everyone of them I see in the face…I know, not very Christian.
The worst of all are the Shriners Clowns….lord help me
Haha, Joseph! Clowns can be scary!
All of these are so funny. I’m terrified of trains. Would that be railaphobia? I don’t know. I can’t even think about too many train words, and I’m not funny this morning. Can I just laugh at everyone else’s clever ideas?
can you imagine being afraid of thinking? Geesh. That would be like borderline insanity
fear of doctors: probophobia
fear of OBGYN: ohnoyoudontophobia
fear of orthopedic surgeons: ohnotagainophobia

Fear of my kids growing up, leaving – momwon’tletgophobia
Fear of not having chips – munchlessphobia (I love chips)
Fear of running out of coke – musthavecokephobia
I’m thinking I have too many real phobias to go making up new ones. Wait. I get it. Pull out the really weird ones, like
swervenflyophobia–fear of loosing control in a curve
ickybicophobia–fear of using community ink pens at the bank or grocery store
whosehandshavebeenhereophobia– fear of shopping cart handles and used books
fecalbristleophobia–fear of fecal matter getting into the bristles of your toothbrush when you flush the potty (I am responsible for at least one person developing this phobia–he keeps his toothbrush in his nightstand)
flatufalbeverophobia–fear of tiny stink particles from flatulence falling into one’s drink. These people are easy to spot as they immediately pop their hand over their drink if someone passes gas.
nosebagphobia-yes its true I have that condition…extra nosey people who ask many questions without really being close enough to know me, scare me to death! I will instantly withdrawal, and wear cheap sunglasses hoping to diguise myself whenever they are approaching..
also fatmouthphobia- similiar to nosebagphobia yet slightly different…the fat mouth usually speaks at the wrong times, loudly and profanely, insisting on knowing everything, while ignorance falls from their mouth…those really scare me too!
(Muah! forgot to say..LOVE YOU!)
wasnt the fear of long words from me? anyways, those are some pretty nice words
Cant think of any but I made up one:
icantthinkofaphobiaphobia
gabriel – youve mentioned it before – ive known about it for awhile and its actually a real word. very funny! i like your made up phobia
fear of having to look at someone elses pimple = iwantapopyourzitophobia
unibrowphobia- scary stuff
I read this post 3 times and I can’t think,
It’s either I’ve grown another grey hair OR it’s lack of sleep!
Fear of having to make up phobias and then have mental block – makeupblockphobia
one of my life goals is to learn how to say “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia” correctly.
I will be straight-forward: no one like when things like this happen to them. So, I have to reveal this fairly safe experience
