Aeronausiphobia- Fear of vomiting secondary to airsickness.

How fookin strange??? 2 phobias mixed together to get 1 name??

 

Imagine having this one...

 

Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

 

...and telling someone about it but you pronounce it wrong...like this...

 

Agraphobia- Fear of sexual abuse.

 

Imagine what they'd be thinking banghead.gifbanghead.gifbanghead.gif

 

It does make me wonder if all of these phobias are real ones that people actually have or if a group of really bored psychiatrists sit in a room inventing names for them JUST INCASE someone walks in one day and has one.

 

Makes you think, doesn't it.

 

"Doctor...I have an INTENSE fear of THE GREAT MOLE RAT...can you tell me what it is???"

 

"Son...I'm afraid you have Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat."

 

How fuckin BIZZARE???
