thalassophobia

“I have been endeavoring all the winter to reason away my antipathy to the sea in order to avail myself of a very favorable occasion I now have of passing it—but I have a kind of thalassophobia that resists all kind of argument”

1815, William Short, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, 11 March 1815:

1937 George M. Gould. Anomalies and curiosities of medicine. Sydenham Publishers, New York
Thalassophobia is the fear of the view of immense spaces or uninterrupted expanses. The Emperor Heraclius, at the age of fifty-nine, had an insurmountable fear of the view of the sea; and it is said that when he crossed the Bosphorus a bridge of boats was formed, garnished on both sides with plants and trees, obscuring all view of the water over which the Emperor peacefully traversed on horseback.
The moralist Nicole, was equally a thalassophobe, and always had to close his eyes at the sight of a large sheet of water, when he was seized with trembling in all his limbs. Occasionally some accident in youth has led to an aversion to traversing large sheets of water, and there have been instances in which persons who have fallen into the water in childhood have all their lives had a terror of crossing bridges.

The polka dots are scars left by the cookiecutter shark, a thalassophobia-inducing creature with jaws designed to remove round plugs of flesh.

2021 March 30, J. B. MacKinnon, “An Entire Group of Whales Has Somehow Escaped Human Attention”, in The Atlantic:

A morbid fear of the sea or, more generally, deep water such as lakes.

As soon as Dr Guy Glass cured Rebecca of her tokophobia, the place would be full of children.

2002, Zadie Smith, The Autograph Man, Penguin Books (2003), page 200:

A multitude of stories are required, not just to help those telling them to work out their own narratives, or to help those looking for information, but to challenge tokophobia by enriching and complicating our cultural understanding of childbirth.

2018 September 23, Eva Wiseman, “Mumsnet forums are a guilty pleasure, but there are truths, too”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

A morbid fear of childbirth or pregnancy.

moralphobia

/mɔːɹəl ˈfəʊbi.ə/

An irrational fear of doing something that could be perceived by others as wrong


koumpounophobia

Mrs Rose said that from time to time psychiatrists had asked her whether their clients suffering from koumpounophobia, or fear of buttons, could visit the shop in Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia.

2011 December 2, Josh Loeb, “Button Maker Maureen Rose plans to celebrate Charles Dickens's bicentenary with unique design”, in West End Extra:

Years ago, I worked with the parents of a three-year-old with koumpounophobia, a fear of buttons. She violently refused to wear anything with buttons and screamed if her mom approached with buttons on her shirt.

2012, Diana R. Boggia, Parenting with a Purpose: Inspiring, Positive Alternatives to Reach and Teach Your Child How to Behave, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 79:

Meet mother-of-one Louisa Francis, whose bizarre phobia means she is terrified of buttons.
The 30-year-old panics if faced with one, and is forced to flee if they are placed too near to her.
To most people they are harmless but for Louisa they are a source of fear - because she has koumpounophobia.

2012, Leon Watson, "Unusual phobia of mother, 30, who is paralysed by fear when she sees… BUTTONS, Daily Mail, 8 March 2012

The fear of buttons (clothing fasteners).


Canadaphobia

BTW, have you noticed that the xenophobia regularly shown on South Park goes way overboard when the topic is Canada? Then it becomes Canadaphobia. Are Canadians offended by this?

2001 June 11, Aaron Hirshberg, “Re: OT Surrender Canada”, in alt.tv.simpsons (Usenet):

Note to National Public Radio listeners: The preceding comment was meant as a joke and a dig at Roedy. It is not meant to seriously endorse the conquest of Canada. NPR will be standing by with smooth jazz and the favorite show, "All Things Considered" should Lockwood's "Canadaphobia" prove troublesome for some listeners.

2001 September 29, John Lockwood, “Re: Roedy's Screams...”, in comp.lang.java.advocacy (Usenet):

It's little wonder that Canadaphobia crops up among USAians, given the insufferable and boorish pig-ignorance displayed by a small contingent of Canadian commentators, typified by the Axis of Evil, Skelton and Allardice, as prize a pair of loutish lads as you'll ever meet.

2006 February 2, TOliver, “Re: Joint Chiefs Send Rare Protest Letter to 'Wash Post' Over'Reprehensible' Toles Cartoon”, in alt.books.tom-clancy (Usenet):

Fear or hatred of Canada, its citizens, and/or its culture.


pteronophobia

From Ancient Greek πτερόν (pterón, “feather”) + -phobia.

uder

Then there are the phobes whose fear of birds is combined with a fear of feathers, pteronophobia.
One case of bird-and-feathers phobia involved a woman in her thirties who was too frightened to go outside.

1986, Brent Filson, There's a Monster in Your Closet!: Understanding Phobias, Julius Messner, →ISBN, page 55:

It is easy, for example, for a person to live with pteronophobia, aulophobia, or batrachophobia. One simply stays away from feathers, flutes, and frogs!

1989, Josie Hadley, Carol Staudacher, Hypnosis for Change, New Harbinger Publications, →ISBN, page 98:

'Um ... pteronophobia is the fear of being tickled with feathers, I think . . . '

2005, Anna Dale, Dawn Undercover, Bloomsbury, published 2006, →ISBN, page 291:


fatphobia

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-fatphobia.wav

Coordinate term: see Category:en:Phobias

Near-synonyms: sizeism, weightism

This is because medical authorities and proponents of public health are drawing from and amplifying the Western cultural fear and loathing of fatness, or fatphobia, with claims about a global 'obesity epidemic' (WHO 1998).

2008, Lee F. Monaghan, Men and the War on Obesity: A Sociological Study, Routledge, published 2008, →ISBN, page 1:

Celebrity culture is intricately tied to fatphobia.

2009, Crystal Renn, Marjorie Ingall, Hungry: A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, unnumbered page:

From long-lost high school friends found on Facebook to total strangers whom I'll probably never meet in person, I get asked questions from where to buy a good bra (my minimizer days are dead and buried) to how to deal with a spouse's fatphobia.

2012, Abby Weintraub, “Truce”, in Virgie Tovar, editor, Hot and Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love and Fashion, Seal Press, →ISBN:

There are a lot of ways for people in the obese/eligible category to feel about it: […] Ambivalent about fatphobia in medicine working in their favor, for once.

2021 March 9, Maura Judkis, “People are getting vaccinated due to their BMI. They have mixed feelings about it”, in Washington Post:

Fear and/or dislike of obese people and/or obesity.

Fear or obsessive avoidance of consuming fat.


leporiphobia

For quotations using this term, see Citations:leporiphobia.


batophobia

Batophobia, or fear that high things will fall, is not uncommon, and is matched by the perhaps still more common fear that one may fall off high places should one be perched on an altitude, or on the top of a bridge, or walking along cliffs.

1912, Edwin Ash, Nerves and the Nervous, Brentano's, page 23:

Batophobia is the specific fear of high objects, such as tall buildings. Batophobia may be related to acrophobia — the fear of high places, or to anablepophobia — the fear of looking up at high places.

1995, Mir M. Ali, Paul J. Armstrong, Architecture of Tall Buildings, McGraw-Hill, published 1995, →ISBN, page 303:

That doesn’t seem to be a problem for the wealthy investors who are wiring millions of dollars to New York to snatch up a piece of 157 West 57th Street — what will be New York City’s tallest residential building, with 90 floors overlooking Central Park.
A bigger worry for these buyers may be acrophobia (fear of heights) or batophobia (fear of being near an object of great height, like a skyscraper).

2012 February 3, Alexei Barrionuevo, “The World at Its Feet”, in The New York Times:

The fear of high objects or of high objects falling down.


amaxofobia

2013, David Brian Arciniegas, Management of Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury, Washington, D.C.: American Psychiatric Publishing, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 403, →ISBN:

There is no aura, there is some photophobia, sonophobia, and he goes to bed if possible.

1999, Bernard Swerdlow, Whiplash and Related Headaches, Boca Raton: CRC-Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 595, →ISBN:

Like migraine headache, hemicrania continua is associated with nausea and vomiting, as well as sonophobia and phonophobia.

2019 September 19, Steven D. Waldman, Atlas of Uncommon Pain Syndromes E-Book, Amsterdam: Elsevier Health Sciences, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 11, →ISBN:

1965, Charles M. Schulz, A Charlie Brown Christmas, 05:46-05:51:

I myself have recently developed mild climacophobia (fear of falling downstairs). Don't know why, but I'm convinced that someday I'll fall down a flight of stairs and hurt myself badly.

2001 August 16, Leigh Butler, “TAN: Phobias (was Re: TAN: Summer Reading recommendations)”, in rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan (Usenet):

I once knew a tall kyphophobic man,
Who was sick of stooping so low;
Sadly he developed climacophobia,
When he moved from his bungalow.

2008 March 28, Julian Dibbell, “Wikiphobia and Web 2.0”, in The Telegraph:

Understand the cultural shift that needs to occur – wikiphobia is real.

2011, Government of British Columbia, "UX Toolbox: Building Better Web for Citizens", page 76


Santaphobia

You've done it again. It's practically Christmas Eve, and you haven't bought a single present. What's with you? Santaphobia?

1997 December 9, Anne Stockwell, Alan Frutkin, “More stuff for your stockings”, in The Advocate, page 66:

"The reason people dread Christmas — Santaphobia — is that it is a time of tradition, a time that arouses all kinds of memories," said Dr. Ponce.

1999, "Christmas scares the HELL out of millions of Americans", Weekly World News (satire), 21 December 1999, page 30

Even with 3 poses, it's not always easy to get a "natural" look. This one is the best we could manage. When we say "smile" to the kids they really exaggerate it. You can see that Delanie still hadn't gotten over her Santaphobia.

2002 December 23, © Mike, “Trio Visits Santa”, in alt.fan.mark-brian (Usenet):

(humorous) The fear of Santa Claus or Christmas.


gingerphobia

Last night, Tate staged a nice running gag on racism by creating a world in which the majority had an irrational hatred of "gingers", meaning redheads. Women of that persuasion were forced to hide from gingerphobia in Russet Lodge, a "ginger refuge".

2005 July 22, Ian Bell, “Those who pay the PR rarely get to call a tune as perfect as this one”, in The Herald, Glasgow:

There is a phenomenon called "gingerism" (prejudices against red-headed people) and "gingerphobia" (fear of red-headedness) in Scotland today.

2007 August 9, “Genetics Gets to the Roots of Why It Is Better to Be Red Than Dead in Cold Climates”, in Cape Times, South Africa:

Although Western civilisation needs new categories of thought-crime like a hole in the head, the idea of gingerphobia as a hate crime is probably no more absurd than many other categories.

2013 January 9, Ed West, “Why is gingerism so common in Britain?”, in The Telegraph:

(UK, informal) Fear, dislike, or hatred of people with red hair.


Dubyaphobia

A new disease of the nervous system is afflicting millions of voting-age Americans: Dubyaphobia.

2000 October 29, Jeff Cramer (quoting Michael Betzold of Common Dreams), “Dubyaphobia And It's Cure”, in alt.politics (Usenet):

If Dubyaphobia does not become widespread and cause Bush to be defeated in the upcoming presidential election, Hillary will be running against a republican nobody in the 2008 election year, and might actually win.

2003 September 17, GRaleigh345, “Re: True lies”, in alt.religion.mormon (Usenet):

The _Jewish Post_ webmonger didn't put a date on that piece that I can find, but it must have been published before Mr. Soros succumbed to acute dubyaphobia: there is no mention of his latest mental illness.

2004 May 20, John H. McCloskey, “Re: Why Soros Hates Bush”, in alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater (Usenet):

(informal) The fear or hatred of George W. Bush.

From Anatidae + -phobia. Coined by Gary Larson in 1988 in a Far Side comic.

My regards to the ducks who watched me as I worked and gently encouraged me to stay on track. Even mild anatidaephobia has its uses.

2010, Amber K, True Magick: A Beginner's Guide, Llewellyn Publications, →ISBN, page 9:

Worse than that, Thomas himself suffered from anatidaephobia, the fear that you were being watched by a duck. As a youth, every time those Aflac commercials came on, Thomas had to retreat to his room in anguish.

2013, Montgomery Trevour Halle-Bouern, Objects in the Mirror Aka Vulture Culture, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 16:

For example, Aflac, the insurance company, posted an ad featuring their duck mascot on the same page as an article about anatidaephobia—the fear that you are being watched by a duck (Figure 1.2).

2014, Ahava Leibtag, The Digital Crown: Winning at Content on the Web, Morgan Kaufmann, →ISBN:

(humorous) The fear that one is being constantly watched by a duck.

odontophobia

en-noun

odontophobia (usually uncountable, plural odontophobias)

Odontophobia, or the fear of dental work, seems equally plausible, as does pentheraphobia - fear of the mother-in-law.

2008 October 1, “Scared of this? You must be lutraphobic”, in The Daily Mail:

In fact, in dentistry, there is often a widespread condition of odontophobia among patients.

2019 October 8, Rosa De Stefano, “Psychological Factors in Dental Patient Care: Odontophobia”, in Medicina, →DOI:

People with dentophobia, also called odontophobia, have a fear of dentists. Someone with dentophobia may have extreme anxiety at the thought of going to the dentist or while in the dentist’s office.

clownophobia

A facile, pop-psych explanation would unearth the roots of clownophobia in childhood traumas.

1997, Ashley Crawford, Ray Edgar, editors, Transit Lounge: An Interface Book from 21.C, North Ryde, →ISBN, page 174:

While most of us see Ronald McDonald as a nice corporate symbol, the 8% of the population that suffers from clownophobia (more properly called coulrophobia) view him as evil incarnate.

2003, Richard Crouse, The 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen, ECW Press, →ISBN, page 130:

Seriously, my girlfriend said the exact same thing when I told her she was far from alone in her clownophobia.

2003 December 20, Brian Christgau, “Re: OT -- Clowns... creepy?”, in misc.writing.screenplays (Usenet):


bozophobia

Bozo (a famous American clown character) + -phobia

Do not go to the Ringling Museum of the Circus if you suffer from bozophobia.

1978, Jane Stern, Michael Stern, Amazing America: A Guide to Over 600 Sights, Random House, →ISBN, page 156:

I hate clowns, clowns suck, clowns are big, mean scary people, who deserve to get the crap beat out of them like no one else deserves to. (Except maybe mimes) Bozophobia aside, I really like this: it's fast, it's well played, […]

1995, Maximum Rocknroll, Issue 148, unknown page

No explanation has yet been given for Anya's lapinaphobia, anymore than for Willow's ranidophobia, or Xander's bozophobia.

engtevrees

Compound of engte (“narrow place”) + vrees (“fear”).


cisphobia

One could then speak of 'cisphobia' or 'heterophobia', claiming adequate protection for cisgender and straight persons.

2012, Laura Palazzani, Gender in Philosophy and Law, Springer, published 2012, →ISBN, page 101:

Piers Morgan has claimed to be the “victim of cisphobia” after several members of the transgender community blasted his ignorance on Twitter.

2014 February 6, Jenn Selby, “Piers Morgan claims he’s a ‘victim of cisphobia’ after transgender community blast his ignorance on Twitter”, in The Independent:

Most of the time this leads to white boys screaming about cisphobia and reverse racism, but that's the post when everyone just ignores them and lets them wallow in their ignorance.

2014, Sydney Valenzuela, "The addictive and intricate qualities of the underdog networking site, Tumblr", Eye of the Tiger (Roseville High School, Roseville, California), Volume 12, Issue 9, 24 February 2014, page 10

gnomophobia

Pop superstar Elton John says "gnomophobia" is partly to blame for the delay in getting his animated film, "Gnomeo and Juliet," brought to life.

2009 May 26, “Elton John, Ont. premier announce animation funding”, in CTV News:

“It’s good to confront the received wisdom that all gnomes are nasty,” Mr. Llewelyn-Bowen said. Referring to his wife, he added: “Also, Jackie has had to overcome her poshness and confront her gnomophobia.”

2013 May 20, Sarah Lyall, “Common Gnomes Pop Up at Rarefied Flower Show, to Horror of Many”, in The New York Times:

As for me, I’m a fence sitter. The little red-shirted men sitting with fishing poles beside ponds are — ouch — insufferably cute. Yet I also think there is way too much snobbery in gardening.
So if our gnomophobia is waning, that’s surely a good thing.

2014 March 29, Sonia Day, “Gnomes back in gardeners’ good graces: The Real Dirt”, in Toronto Star:

(informal, humorous) A fear or dislike of garden gnomes.


Latinophobe

The local intellectual elite, which derived its tradition from the Nicaean reaction to Latin domination, the so-called "Hellenic renaissance," was becoming progressively more Greek in spirit and correspondingly more Latinophobe.

Exhibiting Latinophobia, fear, dislike or prejudice against Latinos or those who are Hispanic or Latin American.


Latinophobe

This also shows the reason for using Latin names, to avoid confusion with the varying popular ones. A few examples such as "syringa-philadelphus-lilac" make even the most confirmed Latinophobe see glimmerings of light!

One who fears or hates the Latin language.

One who exhibits Latinophobia, fear, dislike or prejudice against Latinos or those who are Hispanic or Latin American.


acephobia

It’s important to talk about asexuality because it’s often an overlooked sexual identity, and acephobia – discrimination against asexual people – is experienced by many asexual people.

2013, Lee Thomas, "LGBTQrazy: A is for…", The Brunswickan (University of New Brunswick), Volume 147, Issue 7, 17 October 2013, page 10

I now give asexual workshops, screen the film (A)sexual with a postfilm discussion, and try to have conversations with my friends and colleagues about asexual identity and acephobia.

2014, Joelle Ruby Ryan, “On Being Asexual and Transgender: Notes on Identity, Visibility, and Empowerment”, in Laura Erickson-Schroth, editor, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource for the Transgender, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 367:

Sunniphobia

I address the ideological underpinnings of this 'Sunniphobia' in Chapter 5, as part of the discussion of the structural problems of the US counter-insurgency campaign.

2005, Ahmed Hashim, Insurgency and Counter-insurgency in Iraq, Cornell University Press, published 2006, →ISBN, page 82:

For all the talk of "Shi'philia" and "Sunniphobia," sectarian manipulation was a secondary, tactical factor for the occupiers, who were most interested in the creation of a new "national" bourgeoisie at massive cost to most Iraqis, including the middle and professional classes.

2008 April 6, Richard Seymour, “The Sadrist Revolt”, in Monthly Review:

[…] as well as modern mechanisms and instruments for conflict resolution and the fear of the unknown similar to the rising fever of Islamophobia (fear of Islam), Shiaphobia and Sunniphobia in the Western industrialized countries because it did neither sufficiently nor adequately addressed^([sic]) their vital national economic and strategic security interests in the country.

1985, Robert Peters, The Peters Second Black and Blue Guide to Current Literary Journals, →ISBN, page 102:

Ever want to approach that hot guy or gal from cross the bar but you were too afraid? You might have Kakorrhaphiophobia, the fear of failure and rejection. If you find a disco ball at the dance club frightening, you might have Selaphobia, the fear of flashing light.

2013 October, Michael Buzzelli, “Oh, don't be such a phobe”, in Equal Magazine:

[…] many patients complain about the syndrome and side-effects associated with the surgery, such as dizzying, selaphobia, lowered contrast sensitivity, blurred vision in dark environment etc.

2013, Yun Feng, Yang Li, and Wei Wang, Reduced wavefront aberration influence the visual function after the senile cataract surgery with an aspherical intraocular lenshttp://www.grin.com/de/e-book/213709/reduced-wavefront-aberration-influence-the-visual-function-after-the-senile, abstract

(rare, medicine) Fear or intolerance of flashes of light.


agyrophobia

The man suffers from two paralyzing fears: anablephobia, the fear of looking up, and agyrophobia, the fear of crossing the street. Imagine suffering from the inability to see what is in front of you coupled with the inability to step off the curb.

2006, Andrew Razeghi, Hope: How Triumphant Leaders Create the Future, →ISBN, page 175:

As an example of this phobia class, James at 42 years old felt simultaneously confused and embarrassed by his agyrophobia, a fear of crossing streets.

2008, James Garner, Arthur H. Bell, Phobias and How to Overcome Them: Understanding and Beating Your Fears, Castle Books, →ISBN, page 98:

In contrast to some other human phobias that people acquire with experience—like triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) and agyrophobia (fear of crossing the street)—claustrophobia appears to be innate.

2013, Adam Alter, Drunk Tank Pink, →ISBN:

Bryan, Webz and Chip sneak over an optical crosswalk spelling 'AGYROPHOBIA' wearing PIXILATED MASKS OF THEIR OWN FACES.

2015, Drew Wordloner, Welcome The Newbies, →ISBN, page 102:


chiroptophobia

From Chiroptera (taxonomic order of bats) + -phobia.

Bruce Wayne suffers from chiroptophobia. He rarely admits it.

2011, Stephen McDonald, William Salomone, The Writer's Response, page 111:

Chiroptophobia, or the fear of bats, is a fairly common psychological trait. Even though most bats are small, timid creatures, something about those leathery wings and tiny fangs seems to trip our self-preservation alarms.

2011, Linda S. Godfrey, Monsters of Wisconsin, page 37:


chaetophobia

From Ancient Greek χαίτη (khaítē, “flowing hair”). By surface analysis, chaeto- + -phobia.

cherophobia

From Ancient Greek χαρά (khará) + -o- + -phobia.

af

antlophobia

Presumably from Ancient Greek ἄντλος (ántlos, “hold of a ship; bilgewater”), also defined in LSJ as "a flood of water" + -phobia.

der

As climate change brews, Woody is likely to suffer from a severe case of the newly diagnosed floodophobia (or antlophobia). He will not be alone.

2010, Matthew E. Kahn, Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future, Basic Books, published 2010, →ISBN, page 114:

Two roads greet thee before thy devastation and failures...
one road stemming from Mama's womb
the other dislodged from Daddy's deformed testicles
Learning to read was thy great antlophobia
of which they twirled towards a dusty tomb.

2012, "Dapharoah69", "Response to Robert Frost's 'The Road Less Taken'", in THE KINGD[O]M: A Testimony, Lulu.com (2012), page 371

Like other phobias, it’s believed that Antlophobia is caused by outside traumatic events that happened when the affected individual was younger.

c. 2012, Ryan Vazquez, "True Fear", Positive/Negative Magazine (College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, Rochester Institute of Sciences), Volume 6, page 52

(rare) The fear of floods or inundation.


cleithrophobia

From Ancient Greek κλεῖθρον (kleîthron, “bar for closing a door”) + -phobia.


decidophobia

Rothery (1993b) has called this 'decidophobia'. One of the main elements of 'decidophobia' is wanting to do too much at once. You cannot possibly solve all the problems, or even answer all the questions you have, in one research project!

2003, Margaret Alston, Wendy Bowles, Research for Social Workers: An Introduction to Methods, →ISBN:

(informal, humorous) Reluctance to make decisions.


frigophobia

Frigophobia, or "morbid fear of catching cold", is a clinical condition described by Chinesse psychiatrists as a culture-related syndrome of the Chinese (Rin, 1966).

An abnormal and persistent fear of becoming cold or freezing.


cyanophobia

Von Hasner cites a case of aversion to blue, or cyanophobia, in a woman, fifty years old, in whom it had existed since childhood. Looking at blue objects always brought on he ache, vertigo, nausea, and even vomiting.

1881, Edward Swift Dunster, James Bradbridge Hunter, Frank Pierce Foster, International Record of Medicine and General Practice Clinics:

While one person may have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), someone else may have arachibutyrophobia (fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouth), or cyanophobia (fear of the color blue).

2012, Heather Quintana, Momentum: Moving in the Right Direction, →ISBN, page 128:


bathmophobia

From Ancient Greek βαθμός (bathmós, “step”) + -phobia.

It is closely related to bathmophobia, which is a fear of stairs or steep slopes, and climacophobia, which is a fear of stairs, climbing, or of falling down stairs.

2011, Martin Bodek, The Year of Bad Behavior: Bearing Witness to the Uncouthiest of Humanity, Lulu.com, published 2011, →ISBN, page 16:

Bathmophobia, as with other clinical fears, is generally not diagnosed in children unless it persists for more than six months.

2011 November 10, Claire Bates, “Mother once forced to go down shopping centre steps on her BOTTOM finally overcomes fear of stairs after 38 years”, in Daily Mail:

For visitors falling ill or who are prone to acrophobia (fear of heights) or bathmophobia (fear of stairs), restoration workers installed a tiny emergency elevator to enable Park Service rangers to ascend quickly all the way to Liberty's neck and then spirit people out.

2012, Edward Berenson, The Statue of Liberty: A Transatlantic Story, Yale University Press, published 2012, →ISBN, page 180:


gerascophobia

Thus, from gerascophobia to ageism, Euro-American society today has an overall negative view of aging.

2012, Brittany Goltry, "Prevent, Reverse, & Defy: Ageism in Magazine Advertisements", thesis submitted to Carroll College, page 1

[…] and Aprella, a freckled girl with straight strawberry blonde hair who had been diagnosed with gerascophobia.

2013, Claire Fitzpatrick, The Ostracism of Ophelia, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 327:

dentophobia

Also realize that dentophobia can be a self-fulfilling prohepcy...

2006, Bill Dorfman, Billion Dollar Smile: A Complete Guide to Your Extreme Smile Makeover, →ISBN, page 170:

I've had many problems lately and I desperately need your help. First of all, I have been diagnosed with dentophobia. Because of that, I just can't bring myself to make an appointment even though I'm in terrible pain. I'm not sure if I'll need a root canal or just a filling. Please give me some ideas for how to overcome this phobia.

2009, Wendy Conklin, Differentiation Strategies for Language Arts, →ISBN, page 144:

That's because a visit to the dentist—if someone with dentophobia even makes it to the dentist—is likely to result in the classic fight-or-flight symptoms:...

2014, Sara Latta, Scared Stiff: Everything You Need to Know about 50 Famous Phobias, →ISBN, page 67:

There are nearly as many reasons people fear going to the dentist as there are teeth in the mouth. Indeed, dentophobia—the term is from the Latin word dens, meaning "tooth", and sometimes known as odontophobia...

Fear of dentists or their medical procedures.


disposophobia

At the extreme end of the clutter spectrum are folks who suffer from what some call disposophobia—fear of disposing. In other words, they hoard. According to one report, nearly a million junkaholics suffer from this psychological, and the proof is in the piles. To help those who suffer from disposophobia, a national support group called Clutterers Anonymous models itself after the twelve-step format of Alcoholics Anonymous.

2011, Iyna Bort Caruso, Simply Organized: "The all-in-one guide to organizing your home, office, children, and more!", →ISBN:

Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding or disposophobia) is the selfish acquisition of possessions (and failure to use or discard them)...

2012, Miriam Neff, Where Do I Go From Here?: Bold Living After Unwanted Change, →ISBN:

The fear of throwing things away. Disposophobia, I remembered. A disease immortalized by the legendary Collyer brothers, who'd been found dead in their mess in a Harlem brownstone.

2013, Julia Heaberlin, Lie Still: A Novel, →ISBN, page 305:

Compulsive hoarding has also been labeled "disposophoia" because the person with this disorder feels a real and palpable fear of throwing or giving away, even if the items are essentially worthless.

(informal, humorous) Fear or dislike of disposing of items; a tendency to hoard things.


demonophobia

LAMAISM may be defined as a mixture of late Indian Buddhism (which is itself a mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism) with various Tibetan practices and beliefs. The principal of these are demonophobia and the worship of human beings as incarnate deities. Demonophobia is a compendious expression for an obsession which victimizes Chinese and Huindus to some extent as well as Tibetans...

1998, Sir Charles Eliot, Hinduism and Buddhism: An Historical Sketch, Volume 1, page 382:

it is among the inhabitants of the South that devil-worship is most systematically practiced. No one who has travelled in that region can doubt that demonophobia is a disease with which the whole Southern population is almost hopelessly and incurably afflicted (1887:244)

2008, Isabelle Clark-Deces, The Encounter Never Ends: A Return to the Field of Tamil Rituals, page 74:

The first of these patients especially dreads the flames of hell. This is the demonomania of Sauvages. I call it demonophobia, monodemonophobin.

2012, Forbes Winslow, The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology, Volume 6, →ISBN, page 434:

Demonophobia may take the epidemic form.
A distinction bust be drawn between what I call demonophobia and demonolatry. In demonophobia the patient is under the dominion of continual fear; his future feat incessantly haunts him, he exaggerates beyonds all bounds his real or imaginary faults.


cibophobia

The pain pattern is so intimately related to the ingestion of food that the patient will reduce the size of meals, become reluctant to eat, and even develop frank cibophobia.

1981, M. J. Renaer, Chronic Pelvic Pain in Women, Spring-Verlag, →ISBN, page 134:

Cibophobia differs from anorexia since appetite may persist but the pearson fears eating because of some associated or subsequent discomfort.

1993, Marion Eugene Ensminger, Audrey H. Ensminger, Foods & Nutrition Encyclopedia, Two Volume Set, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 423:

This condition arises from cheese-related trauma (I'll leave it up to you to imagine what this might entail) and it's often considered a subcategory of cibophobia.

2013 October 28, Max Hill, “Fear Factor”, in The Peak, volume 145, number 9, Simon Fraser University, page 15:

The fear of, or aversion to, eating or food.


erythrophobia

Erythophobia is no laughing matter if you are a sufferer of this phobia. It could tend to make the sufferer anti-social as it is a very real and serious concern that excessive blushing could occur at any moment.

2013, Mabel Dawn Van Niekerk - Erythrophobia, The Blushing Phobia - Erythrophobia:

abnormal and persistent fear of blushing


substratophobia

(linguistics) Vehement opposition to substratism.

leprophobia

I therefore entreat you to beware of the lepro-phobia that appears to be coming upon us.

1889, Transactions of the Medical and Physical Society of Bombay, number 12, page 123:

(psychology) An irrationally excessive fear of Hansen's disease (leprosy) and lepers.


Communistphobia

Another morbid factor is also prevailing in the non-Communist countries. That is Communistphobia. Since they are afraid of Communist aggression, they are inclined to forfeit their anti-Communist stand, in the hope that they may get temporary peace by currying the favor of the aggressors.

1957, Communist Menace to Asia, page 32:

Tunku's attempt to create Communistphobia has in fact boomeranged. The local Communist Party is said to have gained in strength rather than being isolated from the indigenous population.

1965, Link: Indian Newsmagazine, Volume 8, Part 1, page 32:

Got to dine with the Home Secretary tonight—fussy old hen, he's suddenly developed Communistphobia; thinks they're going to put a bomb under his bed.

eurotophobia

From Eurotas (“a river”) + -phobia. The reason for the association of the river with female genitalia is obscure to modern readers.

In the judgement of Guido Almansi, sexuality in the sonnets in Roman dialect is haunted by blennorrhea and eurotophobia, and is thus a wholly negative thing.

2015, Valeria P. Babini, Chiara Beccalossi, Lucy Riall, Italian Sexualities Uncovered, 1789-1914:


genderphobia

Genderphobia is a more surreptitious form of discrimination than transphobia because it quietly adheres to hegemonic notions of gender behaviour.

2005 January, Vincent Stephens, “Pop goes the rapper: a close reading of Eminem's genderphobia”, in Popular Music, volume 24, number 1, page 23:

She characterized women's reactions to a masculine person in a public rest room as “an example of genderphobia” (1996, 117), viewing such women as policing gender boundaries rather than believing that there really is a man in the women's rest room.

2008, Joan Z. Spade, Catherine G. Valentine, The Kaleidoscope of Gender: Prisms, Patterns, and Possibilities, Pine Forge Press, →ISBN, page 29:

Genderphobia was no hindrance to her [Margaret Thatcher's] ambitions; her husband took a back seat.

2015, Virginia Nicholson, Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes: The Story of Women in the 1950s, Penguin Books, →ISBN:

Genderphobia works to reinforce gendered hierarchies and the heteropatriarchal state, disenfranchising not only women, but also sexual and gender minorities. Genderphobia is also very much used to enforce xenophobic and nationalist policies […]

2023 March 29, Jose Antonio Langarita, Ana Cristina Santos, Marisela Montenegro, Mojca Urek, Child-Friendly Perspectives on Gender and Sexual Diversity: Beyond Adultcentrism, Taylor & Francis, →ISBN:

2015 September 28, “En Catalogne, urgence une négociation”, in Le Monde:


femmephobia

Indeed, the existence of what has been labelled homophobia, I argue, may be more correctly analysed as a kind of "femmephobia", where same-sex relationships, particularly those between two men, are viewed as having the power to feminize men.

2007, Annie Paul, Caribbean Culture: Soundings on Kamau Brathwaite, page 368:

Probably the most visible and overt site of global(izing) patterns of femmephobia are male-male dating and sexual networking websites, ranging from Grindr, an Iphone application for sexual networking used primarily in the U.S., and Planetromeo, a dating site with a large following in India. […] A range of sample user profiles documented on the site include injunctions like the following: "Only into 101% masculine: Fems dnt fkin mssg me [sic]. College athlete (not some pansy sport"; "Looking for studs: no fats, fems [sic] or anyone above 30"; "If your only personality is gay, move on"; "Be masculine please! I'm gay don't want a girl!"; […]

2013, Aniruddha Dutta, “Masculinities of Desire, Derision and Defiance: Global Gay Femmephobia and Kothi-Hijra-Trans Heterosexualities”, in Rohit K. Dasgupta, K. Moti Gokulsing, editors, Masculinity and Its Challenges in India: Essays on Changing Perceptions, page 146:

In the sexual minority men's community femmephobia typically appears as an abhorrence to stereotypical "gay" things such as liking musicals, lim wrists, sounding effeminate (i.e. a higher pitched voice or a feminine cadence), dressing in clothing considered to be for women and much more.

2020, Emerson L. R. Barrett, “Sexing the Margins: Homonationalism in Gay Dating Apps”, in D. Nicole Farris, D'Lane R. Compton, Andrea P. Herrera, editors, Gender, Sexuality and Race in the Digital Age, page 126:

Dislike of, or hostility towards, stereotypically effeminate gay men, especially within the gay community.


paraphobia

From para- + phobia, by analogy with paraphilia.

The state of apprehension already mentioned as the only conscious feeling of intensity may exceptionally lead to impulsive acts or to a paraphobia.

1918, George Frederick Shrady, Thomas Lathrop Stedman, Medical Record, volume 94, page 284:

A mild form of phobia, causing only unwillingness or hesitancy.


snake-fright

The only means he could think of to counteract his snake fright was to expose himself to the possibilities of any such danger: […]

The psychology of snake-fright might well be likened to the "Jaws effect," though thank goodness no one has made a film about a killer snake terrorizing Long Island parking lots.

1987, Arthur Rosenfeld, Exotic Pets, page 26:

A slithering back porch visitor and a kindly sign painter helped a young mother overcome snake fright.

1992, Wisconsin Natural Resources, volumes 16-17:

Trapped on the bridge, men hollered like women with snake-fright, brave men screaming

2015, Ralph Peters, Valley of the Shadow: A Novel:


entomophobe

We're not like the entomophiles who harbor spiders as housemates or derive sexual satisfaction from the tickling of ants. And we're certainly not crazy entomophobes who run panic-stricken into the streets upon encountering a cockroach […]

2013, Jeffrey Lockwood, The Infested Mind: Why Humans Fear, Loathe, and Love Insects:

Violet, 14, was concerned about causing pain to notorious entomophobe villager Blathers: “I never have him talk about the bugs because I know he hates bugs.”

uxorophobia

(very rare) An inordinate fear of one's own wife, or of wives.


intersexphobia

Although there is overlap in ways that binary gender norms are imposed on trans* and intersex students, athletes, and staff, we feel it is important to understand how transphobia and intersexphobia work as different forms of discrimination.

2016, Heather Sykes, Christopher Smith, “Trans*, Intersex, and Cisgender Issues in Physical Education and Sport”, in Daniel B. Robinson, Lynn Randall, editors, Social Justice in Physical Education: Critical Reflections and Pedagogies for Change, page 275:

However, Turner said the bear community still has a way to go when it comes to greater diversity and acceptance, as he's faced both intersexphobia and biphobia from within its ranks.

2016 September, Matthew Wade, “Something To Growl About”, in Star Observer Magazine, page 13:

In fact, I believe that it is this fear of bodily difference, akin to homophobia, intersexphobia if you will, that drives some doctors to recommend, and parents to agree to, medically unnecessary surgery on intersex children and infants.

2020, Kimberly M. Zieselman, XOXY: A Memoir (Intersex Woman, Mother, Activist), page 205:

Hellenophobia

Since in Asia Minor, as well as at Constantinople, Turkophilism carries with it as corollaries Hellenophobia and Armenophobia, I will leave you to imagine in what paradoxes the souls of victors become entangled […]

1920, Georges Bourdon, Hellas and Unredeemed Hellenism: The Policy of Victory in the East and Its Results:

Their inveterate Hellenophobia was the only relic of the past that survived this great cultural revolution; and it now found for itself a new expression in Christian terms.

1961, Arnold Joseph Toynbee, A Study of History, volume 12, page 441:

Believers in a traditional Hellenophobia-Turkophobia would have stared at the sight of the Mytilene Greeks spreading farewell meals for their departing neighbours, and later accompanying them to the quay, where Christians and Mohammedans, who for a lifetime had been plowing adjacently and even sharing occasional backgammon games at village cafes, embraced and parted with tears.

pseudophobia

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-pseudophobia.wav

aporophobia

From Spanish aporofobia, from Ancient Greek ἄπορος (áporos, “indigent, poor”) + -phobia, by analogy with xenophobia. Term coined by the Spanish philosopher Adela Cortina in the 1990s.

der

It's easy calling somebody a racist (and I'm not talking about skinheads or assholes shouting racist things at matches), but the problem I think it's more aporophobia (sp?) than xenophobia.

2002 October 14, molecule, “I'm dissapointed ^([sic])”, in rec.sport.soccer (Usenet):

In Latin America, the most dramatic results of discrimination have an element of aporophobia, that is, revulsion and hatred for the poor.

2008, “Prejudice, discrimination and intergroup conflict”, in Actualidades en psicología, volume 22, number 109:

We would like to introduce a term coined by Adela Cortina which arose recently and that is affiliated to that of exclusion: It is aporophobia (Cortina, 1997). Feeling of refusal is towards poor people, towards those who do not have a way out of their situation. It breeds on the prejudice that poor people are to blame for their own misery. This feeling subdues many behaviours that are essentially racist, xenophobic and it makes difficult not only integration, but also some politics involving realistic aid to immigrants (Martínez, 2002, pp. 17-23). As pointed out by Cortina (1997), “we don’t marginalize the immigrant because he is rich, nor the black if he is a basketball player, nor the retired with patrimony, we marginalize poor people” (p. 70).

2011, Xavier Mínguez López, “Local literature in a global world? Globalisation, exclusion and multiculturalism in Catalan literature for children and young people”, in Sino-US English Teaching, volume 8, number 5:

Introducing aporophobia in the catalog of hate crimes is a debate that is still open.

2017, V Ávila Vázquez, E Garrido Gaitán, La aporofobia como delito de odio y discriminación:

It is necessary to confront together the populist discourses of intolerance, xenophobia, and aporophobia, which is hatred of the poor.

2021, Pope Francis, Video Message of the Holy Father on the occasion of the Fourth World Meeting of Popular Movements:

(rare) A strong antipathy, aversion or hatred toward poverty or poor people.

Defecalgesiophobia, it has been called. Anusol Suppositories promptly remove the strain. And, with it, this most aggravating complication.

1920, The Medical Pickwick: A Monthly Literary Magazine of Wit and Wisdom:

[…] It is further neglected by a mental dependence upon cathartics or enemata to produce the stimulation. Defecalgesiophobia is a common cause for neglecting the act.

1934, George Morris Piersol, Edward LeRoy Bortz, The Cyclopedia of Medicine, volume 10, F. A. Davis Company:

Defecalgesiophobia―The dread of defecation because of pain is the starting point in the vicious circle of hemorrhoids. It results in constipation, and constipation favors hemorrhoid formation.

1936, The Canadian Medical Association Journal:

I guess a merinthophobic sadist / Would be unable to get satisfaction, / Unless he conquered his defecaloesiophobia ^([sic]), / And focused down there for his action.

proditomania

The greedy public policy of colonizing whole continents abroad, the egotistic private practice of limiting families at home to two or three children, the prevalent politico-ritual theology, the apotheosis of the army and the infallibility of its chiefs, the defilement of literature, the prostitution of the drama and of pictorial art to the passions of the human beast, the total negation of science, the universal conviction that the nation is invincible by land and by sea, and the concomitant proditomania, combined with the cheerful certitude that France is still the light and life of the world, are inevitable consequences of the four conditions enumerated above and unerring symptoms of the dire disease which has eaten into the vitals of the citizens of the third republic.

1897, The American Monthly Review of Reviews, The Zola Trial, page 470:

(rare) A phobia that others are conspiring against one.


phobanthropy

Surely I need not point out to you the egregious egoism, the utter selfishness of the anarchists. Why, their pretended philanthropy is really phobanthropy, that would be monstrous were it not so insane.

1899, Josephine Bontecou Steffens, Letitia Berkeley, A.M., page 200:

After that I was afraid of Aino and Karl, I was more and more afraid as the days passed and as I fought up out of the mistiness and fever into strength and clarity of mind, convalescing. There was a return of my old phobanthropy. I had fled people, I had come to the wilderness in preference to any further effort to establish an amicable destiny in a society that abhorred me.

Very soon the cause of his phobanthropy becomes clear. He not only feels inferior to and ashamed before his fellow-country-men because of the failure in his studies and evades them as much as possible on account of this but he also lives in a world of perverted phantasies, which he himself feels to be filthy and painful.

serophobia

en-noun

serophobia (usually uncountable, plural serophobias)

Consistent with the fall in overall serophobia online, violent threats and the use of slurs or tropes against people living with HIV or AIDS fell over the 2.5 year period studied. Online violent threats relating to serophobia fell 35%, while slurs and tropes fell by 22%.

2021 November 30, Gemma Joyce, “Understanding Online Serophobia: How Hate Speech Against People Living with HIV and AIDS is Evolving”, in Brandwatch:

Fear of, dislike of, or prejudice against seropositives.


nephophobia

Another "ia" was evolving here, she felt, to send Mrs. Goodchild scuttling delightedly: nephophobia, a terror of clouds.

2004, Peter Rushforth, Pinkerton's Sister, →ISBN, page 410:

Lions, Tigers and Clouds….Oh My...Is it possible, you wonder, that I have Nephophobia?

2011 July, Mark McCourt, “Curing Nephophobia”, in SECURITY, page 10:

Natural environment phobias include weather-related conditions such as fear of thunderstorms (astrophobia), clouds (nephophobia), hurricanes (lilapsophobia), snow (chionophobia), cold (cryophobia), wind (ancraophobia), and rain (ombrophobia), among others.

2014 Augsut, Jill S. M. Coleman, Kaylee D. Newby, Karen D. Multon, Cynthia L. Taylor, “Weathering the Storm: Revisiting Severe-Weather Phobia”, in BAMS, page 1179:


Trumpophobia

At home, I see intolerance, various forms of prejudice, demonisation and the exploitation of fear – the last like shooting at the side of a barn, in the American context – at work in our Trumpophobia. This is the soft despotism of the American neoliberal.

2016, Stan Grant, Quarterly Essay 64 The Australian Dream: Blood, History and Becoming:

Heer, who writes a bi-weekly column with headings such as “Steve Bannon is Turning Trump into an Ethno-Nationalist Ideologue” and “Donald Trump is the Bizarro Noam Chomsky”, appears to have contracted a particularly virulent strain of Trumpophobia

2017 April 20, D McCann, “The new totalitarians: Fresh thoughts on James Burnham”, in Quadrant:

Comedian Bill Maher — currently in the midst of his 15th season on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" — has certainly been the beneficiary of increased viewership due to Trumpophobia.

2017 May 7, Zach Freeman, “Maher needed to put away his notebook and be present at Chicago Theater”, in Chicago Tribune:

Alan Dershowitz, a Clinton voter in the last election, warned that the effort to escalate perfervid Trumpophobia from criminalization of policy differences (as well as sour grapes over the lost election) to “psychiatrization” was even more sinister and anti-democratic.

2018 January 10, Conrad Black, “Michael Wolff and the Death Rattle of Trumpophobia”, in National Review:

We may disapprove of Donald Trump's crude behaviors and documented low respect for truth[3]. However, these may have created a kind of Trumpophobia that leads otherwise thoughtful people to exaggerate earlier positive influences of US foreign policy

2018, FT Manheim, “Is Donald Trump's Influence on World Affairs Really Worse than Earlier American Policies?”, in papers.ssrn.com:

(US, politics, informal) Fear of Donald Trump


hydrofobie

Probably borrowed from French hydrophobie.


hijabophobia

From hijab + -o- + -phobia. Attested in books at least as early as 1999, but popularized in academic usage much later by scholars like Manal Hamzeh in 2012.

Fear of hijabs; Islamophobia directed at hijabi women.


Hinduphobe

A person who hates, dislikes or is prejudiced against Hinduism and Hindus.


Germanophobia

If we deal with state Germanophobia, the first observation concerns the uniqueness of war in the sense that it means that the government became overtly rather than covertly xenophobic in order to create a level of support on the home front necessary for victory on the battlefield, especially before conscription was introduced at the beginning of 1916. In Britain during the First World War, the government established various agencies for the propagation of Germanophobia.

1996, Panikos Panayi, Germans in Britain Since 1500, page 115:

"Van," as he was known to friend and foe alike, has been accused of Germanophobia, criticized for being indifferent to events outside of his Eurocentric perspective, and castigated for possessing an inflexible mind.

1997, Michael Lawrence Roi, Alternative to Appeasement, page 1:

In the mid-1860s, Russia also experienced an outbreak of Germanophobia.

2017, Juliet Johnson, Marietta Stepaniants, Benjamin Forest, Religion and Identity in Modern Russia:

The hatred or fear of Germany and anything German.

germanofobie

hatred or fear of Germany or anything German


liberal homophobia

The intellectual Daniel Borrillo refers to liberal homophobia as that which accepts homosexuality so long as it is not discussed. This type of homophobia is represented in phrases like, 'I don't care what anyone does in private so long as they don't tell me about it'. In the professional world, this is crystallized in the recently abolished slogan of the US army: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'.

2012, Margarita Alonso, Best Inclusion Practices: LGBT Diversity, Routledge:

After the deadly shooting attack at Barnoar, liberal homophobia surfaced along with support for the community. It took the form of a debate over coming out of the closet and "outing". Many people said that a person's sexual orientation was his own private business, and spoke out against the expectation that well-known people would come out of the closet. The debate ignored the fact that society considers only one sexual orientation a private matter. Heterosexuality is always public, and may always be talked about.

2013 June, Aeyal Gross, “Israel's liberal homophobia”, in ILGA:

To fully understand “liberal homophobia”, we must consider the centrality of the private/public distinction in liberalism along with the correlation of homosexuality/heterosexuality to this divide.

2015, Aeyal Gross, “The Politics of LGBT Rights in Israel and Beyond: Nationality, Normativity, and Queer Politics”, in Columbia Human Rights Law Review:

Another type of men’s group, or trend in critical thought on men, is often forgotten in our typologies: the “gay groups” along with their commercial and association networks. Their omission highlights the heterocentrism on the part of men studies, which can only deconstruct masculinity in its heterosexual expression. A common current form of liberal homophobia is demonstrated in accepting this sphere, even mentioning the GLBT movement, but eventually not granting gays the status of men that would enable us to include them in our deconstruction of hegemonic masculinity.

2017 January, Daniel Welzer-Lang, “Epistemology of Critical Studies on Men and Masculinity”, in Men’s Studies Press:

Acceptance of homosexuality as long as it remains a private issue.


sidonglobophobia

But perhaps the strangest phobia we've heard of is sidonglobophobia. It's the extreme fear of cotton balls - usually these individuals can't touch them, and are particularly terrified of the sound cotton balls make when torn apart.

2015 October 9, Signe Dean, “Here's The Science Behind The World's Rarest And Weirdest Phobias”, in Science Alert:

I, on the other hand, have sidonglobophobia, or an intense fear of cotton balls.

2017 July 19, Crystal Ponti, “Investigating My Lifelong Phobia of Cotton Balls”, in The Cut:

David Burns, 40, who suffers from sidonglobophobia — a condition that makes him “fearful and anxious” when around cotton wool balls — was sacked after reacting to repeated provocation which included being pelted with the balls and finding them tied to pieces of machinery he was working with at Plastic Mouldings Ltd in Irvine, North Ayrshire

2018 October 25, David McCann, “Worker teased over phobia of cotton wool wins payout”, in The Times:

David Burns, 40, has sidonglobophobia – a fear of cotton wool.

2018 October 28, “Sidonglobophobia sufferer dismissed over collegial ‘banter’ wins £9,000 payout”, in Scottish Legal News, retrieved 2018-08-02:

Sensory phobia of cotton or cotton balls.
