Phobias

It's past midnight so the September School Holiday are officially O-V-E-R.. Stupidly I can't get to sleep, got a Paper at 2pm later and here I am not getting any proper rest.. I was asleep but woke up suddenly with a throbbing headache.. and the Movie: Camp Rock (watched it in the evening) kept flashing in my mind.. Weird.. Anyhow, stumbled upon lists of phobias and decided to share it here:)

i've got 3 sites here:

Some interesting phobias that caught my attention:
  • Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words. [Irony?]
  • Hypertrichophobia - Fear of hair. [How is this even possible? No hair? ]
  • Ithyphallophobia - Fear of seeing, thinking about, or having an erect penis.
  • Medorthophobia - Fear of an erect penis.[Just plain funny :D]
  • Geniophobia - Fear of chins. [Huh?]
  • Eleutherophobia - Fear of freedom.[WHAT?!?]
  • Caligynephobia - Fear of beautiful women. [ Erm, for jealous ladies against other ladies?]
  • Alliumphobia - Fear of garlic. [Totally for me :)]
  • Mnemophobia - Fear of memories. [Bad Memories i suppose]

The list goes on and on and on.. There're also like phobias over certain country/culture like fear of Germany,Japan,British etc.. weird weird world! hahaha!
