phobias

I was listening to Alex Lester on Radio 2 earlier today & one of his many topics was creating new names for phobias. Heres some that I sent in to him, maybe we can put our thinking hats on and create some more.

TINTENAUSIA- A sickening feeling that begins in the
ears and spreads to the stomach whenever some-ones
mobile goes off and it's that frog.

Mammatricophobia-the obsession with watching a pole
dancers upper torso as she gets them to swing in
opposite directions.

Autoparanoia- the fear that all those little voices in
your head will stop talking to you because they will
be plotting against you!

Automessamania- the impulsive rage suffered by
receivers of robotic e-mails.

disc-orderosis-the fear of picking your c.d. collection
off the bedroom floor & putting it in it's correct
place.

gratisfaction- the pleasant feeling that comes over
you when some-one else buys you a pint.

alecrystalvacantism- the fear of empty beer glasses

ignoraphobia- suffered by minor celebs it's the fear
of not being recognised.

electro-missive-runnyitis-E-mail diarrhoea

HEPTONARCOCENTURALISIS- Hepto (seventh day
(saturday)),narco- sleepdisorder, caused by century
(100)

isis (always good at the end of a phobia)

It means fear of losing sleep caused by watching too
many top 100 programs on a Saturday night.

Now you've gone and made my brain hurt.

First attempt ..........

Lumponedphobia. That feeling you get as the person in front doesn't use his/her indicators.

Instaflashphobia. You get it as you pass a speed trap

Skintagainism. That trapped feeling that you get as you have to stay in and converse with the family.

alecrystalvacantism- the fear of empty beer glasses: Definately got that one Less, but maybe an empty wine glass instead.

disc-orderosis-the fear of picking your c.d. collection off the bedroom floor & putting it in it's correct place: Kids have got that one.

Can't think of any but shall but my thinking cap on.

When l'm dancin' round a pole my tit's don't swing- so it doesn't apply to me, thank you kindly.
