Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia isn't as awesome as Anatidaephobia - the fear that somehow, somewhere, a duck is watching you.

Alektorophobia is the fear of chickens LOL if anyone on BYC has Alektorophobia i suggest you leave immediately!

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

No why wouldn't that be "duckophobia" and "chickophobia"? What the heck is an "alektoro" or an "anatidae" anyway?

Fear of logical words?
