Exactly, Sam. Agora is Greek for marketplace, if I'm not mistaken.

Koumpounophobia.
Can't imagine this being all that common... You don't often come across Velcro Jeans...

I don't really care if anyone here has Ablutophobia. Smells can't be transmitted over the Internet.

Whoa I just recently watched Coraline. It is kinda about Koumpounophobia.

I personally think zippers would be scarier.

Sounds like a fear of skin cancer. That's by best guess.

I love how educational this board can be. I'm learning all sorts of new things. :)

No it's not skin cancer Sam... It's the fear of Dark things or more specifically the Color Black...



I hope if anyone who has Potophobia stays home tomorrow night...

She was on the right track with skin because that involves skin color. I don't know what Potophobia is, but I'm guessing it has to do with the new year.

No not exactly, but there will be a lot of it around that if someone has Potophobia, they would probably go into seizures or something...
