Find your Phobias and their scientific names and report back with your progress.

Spiders = Arachnophobia

Wet dreams = Oneirogmophobia

I'm done.
Yes I know you aint scared of nothing but you never know...

No Probs

;)

Who came up with all these?
triskaidekaphobia?
arachibutyrophobia?

Did someone just sit down one day and think of everything and just add phbia to the end of it?

I think you have to say the correct scientific name of something and add phobia. Although....how has the likes of rooms for example have scientific name?

Rather strange.

I found this one on some other site:

Phallophobia
