None of the Cs for me. No, I don't know your C fear(s). Share?
I know I have the answer to this one! Mageirocophobia! k
Roberta, very interesting! The roots of the vast majority of these words are from Greek, and many from modern Greek useage rather than ancient. Somebody's had fun constructing these but I doubt there are many documented, real cases of, say, fear of chopsticks. Wonder if the list includes psychoiatrophobia (fear of psychiatrists)? - Brad
