well, uhm......... i heard of a phobia named Aibohphobia, that is, umm....... fear of words or phrases that spells the same way backwards as it is forwards (palindrome)

Joe: who are you?
Bob: Bob.
Joe AAAAAAAAARGH!!! *trip and fall backwards*
Bob: WOW!
Joe: AAAAAAAARGH!!! * run always and hit the face on a wall*

the reason why this is the most weird i can think of, is not only make a person faceplant from hearing a random word, but Aibohphobia is a palindrome itself
AibohPhobiA ->
AibohPhobiA <-
see? the same back and front

what's yours?
 
The fear of long words. It's called hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. :panda:

that's a little contradicting, but not that weird.
 
Phobophobias. It's literally the fear of phobias themselves.

A weird one in my opinion is Chemophobia, don't wear that pair of pants, it has polyester!:D
PS: I'm suffering from a serious case of mephobia by the way.

Some phobias just aren't very reasonable... :playful:

I know someone who is fear of Rambutan (an exotic fruit). That person said it is hairy and scary o_O
Don't know what's the medical/scientific name for that type of phobia, but it sure is strange.

For someone who doesn't know, it looks like this. Tastes super good, I love them!

People who name phobias are just cruel.

Let's see the weirdest one I heard of is the fear of wearing clothes...it's called Vestiphobia.

I mean how are you suppose to function in society scared of clothes!?

I saw a video of a woman who was deathly terrified of cotton balls 0_0 then the show host planned someone to show up COVERED IN COTTON BALLS to help her get over her fear, then there was one girl that was afraid of pickles. My freshman teacher is afraid of sewing buttons

Cathisophobia, fear of sitting down. :rotfl:

If you're scared of sitting, do you have to stand if you have it or do you have to lie down? xD
