That it is. Due to the game I'm very limited in being witty.

It's the fear of long words. It's one of the funny phobias, therefore I know of it.

Here's another: Friggatriskaidekaphobia. I truly enjoy this one, as it relates to me. But no, I don't suffer from it.

I know this one, but I ain't saying what it is...

All I'll say is that there has been almost as many movies made about it...

Hmm. I know that Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13 but not sure about the prefix.

Okay I went and looked it up. I didn't know phobias got that specific.

Check out 13th of august, 1982. It was an awesome day for me.

When I was a kid I used to be afraid of the bannister and the number 9.

Agoraphobia

I hope no one here has Ablutophobia... So tell me, what is it???

Well I guess working on a Farm or something similar would be out of the question...

I can't guess Ablutophobia because I looked it up. And get out the cameras! We have the rare occurrence of a double reply!

Yeah I know, I didn't mean to, but saw that Sam had posted another Phobia and instead of Editing my first Post I just hit reply... Didn't think about it until after the fact...

There really are no rules here about digging up old posts, double replying, or even triple replying. If people want to express their creativity that way I'm all for it.

Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces, or in some cases, of being outside. Ablutophobia is the fear of washing, I think. Not sure about that one though.

Here's one for ya, and this is actually quite common, believe it or not:

Koumpounophobia.

Close Fred. Agoraphobia is more accurately described as fear of public places or unfamiliar places such as shopping malls or airports. People have panic attacks in crowded places or in places where there is no easy escape.

Most people with agoraphobia stay inside their homes and don't go out.
