Phobias

I don't like the first day of school, so I was in search for the word that meant fear of the first day of school. I found Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school.

I also found Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things. Imagine being a doctor with Asymmetriphobia, and you had to amputate a man's leg, but you felt an utter compusion to cut both legs off just from the pure fear of your patient having only one leg.

Another good one is Sesquipedalophobia- Fear of long words. Isn't it ironic that it's such a long word?

One more? Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons. What the hell is a Walloon?

Today's Lesson: Classifying fears, though fun, don't help irradicate fears.
