What's your favorite phobia?

   I found a list of phobias here. and was wondering something:

   If you had to have one phobia from this list, what would it be?

   (Edit: I'd have to choose...

Phengophobia: Fear of daylight or sunshine.

   I mean, if you lived in the city, it'd be cool. Plus, you wouldn't have a tan, so, like... Well, that looks good on some people, bad on others. *shrug*

   The funniest one, though, has to be...

Defecaloesiophobia: Fear of painful bowels movements.

   Ah, hell, I'm low brow...  )

    One off the list?  Well my favorite isn't there so I guess I'll pick...

    Walloonphobia: Fear of the Walloons.  Mostly because I have no idea what one is & I'm pretty sure I wouldn't know if ran into one.

    My favorite phobia/mass hysteria however is... KORO

    Koro #2

    It also has the honor of being shortest name for a recognised psychological disorder.

    Nice choice Kuzzle...

       No, it's not saying "I have this phobia.", it's saying "If I had to have a phobia, this is the one I'd choose."

    I believe what you're speaking of is:

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia — fear of long words.  (<-- From Wikipedia)

       They're actually both on the list. I prefer the longer once, since it carries more irony with it.

    Urophobia- Fear of urinating.
    Barophobia- Fear of gravity.

    Kathisophobia: Fear of sitting down.

    Basophobia or Basiphobia: Inability to stand. Fear of walking or falling.

    I'd prefer both at once

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
