Talk About Cool Words!

Wow! Zenzizenzizenzic is a really cool word! The coolest word I know is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!!!!! If you think I made it up -- I didn't, you can even check it out at www.dictionary.com. It means "the fear of long words"!! Anyway, I found a really cool cite with a whole bunch of other phobias. Here's some cool ones I found:

fear of bald people - Peladophobia
fear of Beards- Pogonophobia
fear of Body odours- Osmophobia
fear of the Bogeyman -Bogyphobia
fear of Chickens- Alektorophobia
fear of Church- Ecclesiophobia
fear of Clothing- Vestiphobia
fear of Clowns- Coulrophobia
fear of Crossing streets- Agyrophobia


Okay, you guys have to check out this cite: www.phobialist.com
I had no idea there were this many phobias! These phobias are only from the lists A-C, I didn't even check D-Z! You can look through them if you want, (I don't really want to waste the time). If you find any cool ones, let me know!

Actually I read that

Sesquipedalophobia

is the fear of big words but I think they both are. And it is ironic that both words are so long ;)
