Phobias

Someone ask me yesterday if I had any strong fears (other than jealous husbands and Judy) and I have to say I don’t think I do.  So I looked up phobias in the ever-present and often used Google and came away with this list… and I don’t have a fear of any of these.  I also know there are many more, but these are enough.

A is for Acrophobia, which means is a fear of Heights.

B is for Brontophobia, a fear of Thunder and Lightning.

C is for Coprastasopnobia, a fear of Constipation.

D is for Deipnophobia, a fear of Dinner Conversation.

E is for Erythrophobia, fear of the Color Red,

F is for Febriphobia, fear of Fever, which can send straight you to bed.

G is for Gerascophobia, the Fear of Growing Old.

H is for Heliophobia, fear of the sun, which leaves me in the cold.

 I is for Ithyphallophobia, a fear of Erect Penis (especially if you are in prison.)

J is for Judeophobia, a fear of Jews; for Arabs, customarily.

K is for Katagelophobia, fearing Ridicule can make you sad.

L is for Lyssophobia, the fear of Going Mad.

M is for Mageirocophobia, which is the fear of Cooking.

N is for Nuduphobia, fear of Nudity.

O is for Oenophobia, fear of Wines.

P is for Paralipophobia, fear of Responsibility.

Q had no fear to be found. (Unless it is fear of Queers.)

R is for Rhypophobia, the fear of Defecation.

S is for Stasiphobia, which is the fear of Walking.

T is for Telephonophobia, which would severely limit Talking On the Phone.

U is for Urophobia, the fear of Urinating.

V is for Verbophobia, a fear of Words.

W is for Wiccaphobia, the fear of any Witch.

X is for Xerophobia, fear of Dryness.

Y was not available. (Unless you are from the old South and fear Yankees.)

Z is for Zeusophobia, a fear of Gods.

Yes, Peeps.  These are all fears and many can be very debilitating or even dangerous to some.  If any of these are you, I urgently plead with you to stop what you are doing and call your shrink RIGHT NOW.  Got on some pills, or on a couch.  Life is to short and beautiful to be afraid of stuff.
