I've got a lot of pictures of me doing this. When ever I catch one, I always do it for laughs. My personal record is 6 on one ear. Beat that! :P


Wow, I'm impressed that you can catch 6 at a time! You win this time.

Anyone know what the 'fear of assasination' is? Or is that just Paranoia?


I don't think there's one specifically pertaining to assassination, but the fear of being killed is called Social Phobia.

While looking up fear of assassination I found a bunch of funny ones.

Chorophobia- Fear of dancing.

Kyphophobia- Fear of stooping.

Angrophobia - Fear of anger or of becoming angry.

Hobophobia- Fear of bums or beggars.

Pteronophobia- Fear of being tickled by feathers.

Autodysomophobia- Fear of one that has a vile odor.

Genuphobia- Fear of knees.

Omphalophobia- Fear of belly buttons.

Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks.

Metrophobia- Fear or hatred of poetry.

Coprastasophobia- Fear of constipation.

Coprophobia- Fear of feces.

Dutchphobia- Fear of the Dutch.


lol, Well then you would have to half-fear me, cause I'm half Dutch. Is there a scientific name for a fear of masks, specifically rubber ones? (I have that phobia, weird no?) I would definitely consider that a strange phobia.

Lol, so what do they do, scream in terror every time they have to go to the bathroom?


I have no idea. If you are interested, Google it. and @k4th3r1n3, don't post a lot together, so the others won't have an opportunity to post them. And some of your were already posted here.

"Hoplophobia" is the fear of guns.

Maskaphobia is the fear of masks or people in costume. Halloween must suck for you!

@Pedro97- Sorry? I've seen a lot of reposts, must be a common mistake.

You cannot begin to imagine what it was like for me, I was torn between getting free candy and staying away from the masks. Worst part about it was my parents not only did nothing about it, but I think they had something to do with it, but I can't really remember... I have yet to meet someone else who shares my &quotroblem" with masks, which not only makes it a strange phobia, but an extremely uncommon one. On the subject, Thanatophobia is a rather strange phobia, fear of death magic. Not death mind you, but death "magic", very unusual...

I've been irrationally afraid of roaches since I can remember, I think it's because of seeing from a young age the reaction of sudden commotion and uneasiness of others when a roach would appear. That's the only logical explanation I can come up with. Maybe it's something similar for you.

So I won't waste a post,
Rhytiphobia- Fear of getting wrinkles.

I sincerely have arachnophobia. Every night I fear that a spider is in my bed and will bite me if I move. Sleeping is uncomfortable if you don't move.

Barophobia- Fear of gravity. More impossible to escape than those people who have a fear of air. Oh yea and I have a very interesting fact about spiders that would terrify arachnophobic people, but I think I will hold back unless an arachnphobe says to say it. I'm not THAT evil (all of the time).
