 | View Full Version : A Motion to adopt a new phrase for spammers Studio64 06-26-2002, 01:51 AM Alektorophobia --- to be afriad of chickens.. Might as well give WHT spammers a name that fits... http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/oth1/phobias.htm NixHosting 06-26-2002, 01:57 AM lol :D What's with all the chicken threads? His head is going to be huge soon. Stop all these threads cause if his head gets bigger when it comes time to kill him we will need a chainsaw instead of a axe to cut his head off. Chicken 06-26-2002, 02:06 AM We just kill 'em when they come here, just daily business... By the way, is that just made up? I couldn't find either Alektorophobia or Alektrophobia in any dictionary. Funny though, 'fear of chickens', heh. Studio64 06-26-2002, 02:15 AM I was weary of it as well... I couldn't find it on dictionary.com or m-w.com (merriam webster) But, so far I've found it on alot of sites... Either it's true, or it's a pretty well documented fictional condition. http://www.realfears.com/fears/a.htm http://www.zeeks.com/Features/BrainArchive/NikkiBrain12_1.asp http://www.funtrivia.com/Humans/Phobias25.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire/interactive/talk/talk_phobias.shtml http://www.phobiaguide.com/phobias/A.html http://www.wildireland.ie/ye/projects/fact.htm http://www.kidsforcanada.ca/index.php?area=phobias None of these are scholarly research items... But, truth is simply a common agreement on opinions... I can't find any translations for the prefix alektoro (either alek, or toro) anywhere... So I'm at a dead-end there.... So.. someone ask a shrink friend to look it up :D The Prohacker 06-26-2002, 02:29 AM They have a damn phobia for everything now :D Chicken 06-26-2002, 02:43 AM This one seems ridiculous (I've seen it before, as I'm guessing most of you have)... Arachibutyrophobia: Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. I mean... c'mon now...

Arachibutyrophobia: Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. I mean... c'mon now... Man.. what a stupid fear... Hah... When you eat peanut butter and it gets stuck up there... I poke at it... I can usually the chunks out... Then you get the rest of it.. But, that film... That greasy film it leaves... Ahh.. You can never really get it all... It seems to hide... I mean ... How do you get it off?. You try and try... Sniff.... Hold me... Someone hold me... :D Chicken 06-26-2002, 02:54 AM Somehow, I can't see myself sitting on a counch paying $200/hr. and telling that to someone, but that's me and I suppose we all have our little quirks... Chicko-Tip to save you $200/hr. : If peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth, take your finger and wiggle it around up there, drink some milk, and next time use less peanut butter and more jelly. NNHost 06-26-2002, 03:04 AM Chicken... of the topic, but you have 133 of a 10000.. back on the topic... never heard of 'Afraid Of Chickens' alpha 06-26-2002, 03:06 AM Originally posted by Chicken This one seems ridiculous (I've seen it before, as I'm guessing most of you have)... Arachibutyrophobia: Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. I mean... c'mon now... :eek: are you for real? where's the fear of your own saliva? fear of your own fingers! anyways, speaking of things getting stuck to the roof of your mouth - anyone been to those live seafood places where they serve live squid chopped into pieces.. they still wiggle around on the plate. when you eat them, you gotta pick one up, put some spicy sauce on it, put it in your mouth and chew really really fast so that it doesn't get stuck inside of your mouth. probably not anywhere in the USA... but in any cultures where seafood is valuable :D sorry of it grossed some of you out, LOL JamRover 06-26-2002, 07:01 AM Zelophobia — fear of jealousy Not many people seem to have that in here... |
