From Abluto- to Zoo-


A pretty comprehensive list of phobias. Some of my favorites include:

Levophobia- Fear of things to the left side of the body
Tremophobia- Fear of trembling
Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat
Phobophobia- Fear of phobias
and in a cruel irony, Sesquipedalophobia (an 18-letter long word)- Fear of long words

Those with Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) may want to click on the link to buy one of these T-Shirts.

PS. From the headline... Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing and Zoophobia- Fear of animals
