1 Arachibutyrophobia:
The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
2 Anatidephobia: The fear that a duck is watching you. That's sure to drive you 'quackers'.
3 Linonophobia: The fear of string. It's a knotty problem, to be sure.
4 Epistemophobia: Means a fear of knowledge; so you shouldn't be reading this!
5 Phobophobia: Believe it or not, but this is the fear of developing a phobia.
6 Nephophobia: A fear of clouds. Not a good one to suffer from in grey old Glasgow.
7 Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: This, ironically, means the fear of long words.
8. Cacophobia: Whatever you do, don't look in the mirror - this is an over-whelming, irrational fear of ugliness.
9 Pteronophobia: Is the fear of feathers or of being tickled by a feather. It perhaps relates to anatidephobia (See No 2).
10 Coulrophobia: The fear of clowns is one of the more common of the, so called, unusual phobias. Funny, that!
