What the hell is the root language on dem phobia words? Is there a general rule?
Coz normally I can read a foreign word [or English word for that matter] and immediately spot if it's Latin or ye olde German or whatever. But half the time these things have me beat.

Probably a bunch of uni students sitting round toking on a bong thinking of weird and wacky phobia words, as given to them to create by some bored professor. Next on the list
Fear of being a Melbourne Demons supporter.
Fear of the Aussie cricket team losing a test match.
Fear of watching the Hallmark Channel.

Wanted to make a joke about foot fetishists and pedphiles but thought better of it ...
