    Hellnawlogophobia: the fear of Complex Hip-Hop Terms and Urban Terminology
  • 10001110101, on 11/28/2007, -0/+47How does pantiphobia NOT beat eurotophobia? If I'm afraid of everything, does that not include vaginae?
    (Thank you digg spell checker, for teaching me that the plural of 'vagina' is not 'vaginas')

  • sockpuppets, on 11/28/2007, -0/+21I have vaginaphobia, what's your excuse?
  • Bukowsky, on 11/28/2007, -0/+18"Electrogeniphobia - The Fear of urinating during an electrical storm."

    WTF?!
  • dillyhoo, on 11/28/2007, -0/+14Here's one:
    Mentulauctoriphobia - fear of penis enlargement pills. Wanna know where it came from? About 10 seconds googling latin words. I'm going to send it to the APA, get myself named as its discoverer, and it will appear on "did ya know?" lists for years to come.
  • ephrils1, on 11/28/2007, -0/+12How is "fear of clowns" on the Best list? I'm not scared of clowns, just sayin
  • manicleek, on 11/28/2007, -0/+9Tell me you're not American, you can only insult another countries culture if your own has some.

    Otherwise, carry on
  • Vikingtrooper, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8Whats the fear of reading another crappy post on Digg called?
  • AuTigerfan, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8Gymnophobia: A never nude!!!
  • MaryJean, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8it's stupid - why is it good to be fearful of everything British or French?
  • sockpuppets, on 11/28/2007, -1/+9Vikingtrooperpostaphobia
  • raoulduke87, on 11/28/2007, -5/+12"Anglophobia: The fear of England and it's culture"

    What culture?
  • marmanukem, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6No, see with the suffix -philia, it means he LIKES PUSSY
  • ostracize, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6So how does anybody suffer from pantiphobia? What would that be like. How do you diagnose that? How do you cure that?

    It sounds like some made up term used to poke fun at all the phobias that are out there.
  • MattBD, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5We do have a culture! Mostly a drinking culture.
  • ronaldinho, on 11/28/2007, -2/+7Thanh God I have eurotophilia
  • zixx, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6List of Phobias

  • phoenixgeek, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5They forgot about Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - The fear of long words.
  • inactive, on 11/28/2007, -3/+8You are so going hell for that.
  • Antitheft, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5I think that fear of colors is a common symptom of Schizophrenia. I was in a painting class with a schizophrenic once and he refused to paint with, or look at the color purple. True story.
  • dustysquareback, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4Congrats Digg. You've front paged a Top Ten list with a Comic Sans title.

    Burn!!!!!
  • skankyBacon, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4And how could anyone only have it to SOME extent?
    "Yeah that might be sort of unpleasant I suppose."
  • sigafoo, on 11/28/2007, -1/+5Gymnophobia: The Fear of Nudity
    I believe this is also called "Never-nude"
    Cut-offs unite!
  • proghead, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4How could anyone not have elegtrogeniphobia to SOME extent?
  • sovereign3, on 11/28/2007, -1/+5You've obviously never been to France...
  • MattBD, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3So it wouldn't be like "Aargh! A tree! Aargh! A house! Aargh! A car! Aaargggghhhh!"?
  • raoulduke87, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4At least your drinking culture is charming and, well, British. Ours is just binge drinking college kids and abusive fathers.
  • jknevitt, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Jealousy?
  • Antitheft, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Seriously. It looks like they just found 20 phobias and arbitrarily placed them into two groups. ***** dumb.
  • lenlol, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3I'll drink to that!
  • kace32, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3I know this is supposed to be silly and funny, but it's actually quite stupid. They didn't even get some of them right...like the fear of everything...it's really

    Pantaphobia

    And it means the fear of NOTHING
  • mrfish, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Well I guess they should have consulted you before publishing the list. The nerve!
  • kent1146, on 11/28/2007, -0/+32. Venustraphobia: The Fear of Beautiful Women
    1. Eurotophobia: The Fear of Female Genitalia

    Dude... how badly did some guy's mom f*ck his head up for there to be two phobias about beautiful women and female genitalia?

    Serious issues. Thanksgiving dinner must be AWKWARD.
  • OUChevelleSS, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3This list seems to have no rhyme or reason...
  • Arcesius, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4Oh, c'mon! He has an amiable face, it's just a little weathered. That other guy was just plain scary, though............ wait... the pope was the guy on the right, right?
  • 31213121, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3and they forgot phobiphobia.....
  • raoulduke87, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3It's probably better that you are unable to see the Color Purple. It was a god-awful movie
  • AttackingHobo, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Most color blind people can see colors, they just cannot make out all colors, hence purple appears blue to some.
  • zxjams, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Greco- and Schola- are Latin roots (Greek would be Helleno- and scholeio-), with the Greek -phobia. Mixing the two together like that always looks weird to me. Maybe I'm just damaged.

  • Digibull, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2They missed out Ithyphallophobia.....

    ....Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.
  • Anonii, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Stasiphobia is the fear of _standing_
    Stasis = Standing in Greek.
  • raoulduke87, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2What's so funny? It's true. We are now one of the only imperialistic countries left on the globe and we're about to hit the standard 250-300 yr. anniversary where the empire falls apart. it's history repeating itself.
  • Vikingtrooper, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3WOOT! my own phobia....
  • bryanricker, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2What really annoys is people who think they know everything because they can tell you a couple of "phobias". The truth is, ANYTHING be a "phobia" as long as you know word roots.

    Fear of fear: Phobiophobia
    Fear of the Greeks: Grecophobia
    Fear of school: Scholophobia
    Fear of slow, inefficient operating systems: Windophobia
  • blahtastic, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2It's a terrible name for the fear of everything. Sounds more like the fear of pants.

    Which would, of course, go on the best list.
