faux phobias

Karl shared some fictional phobias at today's Toastmasters meeting. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Aibohphobia — a joke term for the fear of palindromes, using (of course) a palindromic word.
• Arachibutyrophobia — fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
• Luposlipaphobia — the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly-waxed floor (fictional, also from Gary Larson in the cartoon series The Far Side).
• Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia — fear of long words.
• Phobophobia — the fear of fear itself.
