How many phobias can you name? claustrophobia - fear of closed places I just bought a book of unusual words and there's a whole chapter on phobias so I thought I would see if any of my poetic pals know any phobias. Here are 2 that I hope you don't have: verbophobia scriptophobia  |

Angel - so am I. I think it's a form of claustophobia - being trapped in a little place with no way out. Switchinofftheputerphobia - having to leave here and go out into the real world! |
