Genuphobia- Fear of knees. How can you be frightened of knees? Here's one reason maybe...! But would you run screaming if you just saw a knee on the tv?

Is there a phobia name of being afriad of evil symbol banging monkeys? Pravusymbolomsonituscercopithecidophobia I can confirm that is a reasonable blend of Latin and Greek meaning the above LL... Kakasymbolomktantacercopithekidophobia is I think entirely Greek but it's 4 years since I studied that stuff...!

One for the southerners Auroraphobia- Fear of Northern lights. That's wrong. The Borealis part means "northern", not the Aurora part. I'm more afraid of aggressive Northern lightweights! ;D

I'm slightly worried that the "ktanta" bit is wrong... but I can't be arsed looking it up! if someone knows the present participle of the verb "to bang" in classical Greek they are welcome to substitute it!

There's just been a story on the radio about a boy who has Scolionophobia- a Fear of school. Is this not just truanting?? I think my friend used to have something like that, she couldn't face going into school most days, specially when she started at a state school, she got really nervous and anxious.. She's now been diagnosed with depression mind
