Very interesting, Fayte I like the title friggatriskaidekaphobia the best. Sounds like it means fear of friggin'kaleidoscopes. hahahaha I have never had any superstition about Friday the 13th or the number 13. It always seemed silly to me that high rise buildings skip the 13th floor. To me 13 is just another number. On the whole Friday the 13th have always seemed to be lucky days for me.

Blennophobia – this won’t last long if you’re the mother of a boy…..
Ephebiphobia – I have this now, but probably won’t in a few years…..
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia – no worries, mate!!

Good ones, ZalaWhat do they call having a phobia about having phobias? I have a phobia about heights ( but will fly on airplanes )and also of being in close spaces ( but will take elevators ). I also don't like being too close to birds. Don't mind them at distances though.  IP: Logged |

Fayte  OMG, they actually do have a phobia named for fear of having phobias. I really don't mean to make light of phobias because there are some that can be crippling to people and I do have compassion for those people. I just find the names humorous and wonder where they come up with them. IP: Logged |

Etymology: Today's word is a humorous concoction that no Greek would ever utter. It seems to be based on the Greek word for Friday "paraskeue" + dekatria "thirteen" (deka "ten" + tria "three;" not "thirteenth," which is "dekatreis") + fobos "fear" + ia, a noun suffix. "Friday the Thirteenth" in Modern Greek is "Paraskeue kai dekatreis." http://www.yourdictionary.com/wotd/wotd.pl?word=paraskavedekatriaphobia –Dr. Language, YourDictionary.com
The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.
Alternate spellings include; paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia) or friggatriskaidekaphobia, and is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.
Triskaidekaphobia- Fear of the number 13.
Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th. http://www.phobialist.com/
