Off the beaten path
Ailurophobia - Cats
Aulophobia - Flutes
Euphobia - Good news
ocophobia - Pregnancy and giving birth
OK, fine. you dislike flutes... alot. Understandable. No one wants to sleep with the flute player in a band. My question, is does your phobia reach into the woodwind family, or is it just flutes? Would a recorder or piccolo cause you to hyperventilate and cry? I ask for science, not so I can hire a high school marching band to terrorize you. I swear.
I'd have to guess the good news fear must make for an interesting announcement at Thanksgiving dinner tables, especially if the couple announcing suffer from both Euphobia and Tocophobia.
Tad: "I don't know how to tell you all this, but we have news. After trying for 3 months, Trish is pregnant. Hooray... dammit"
Trish: "I knew it would happen! I knew it! All my nightmares have come true! Damn my easily fertilized eggs, DAMIN YOU!" ::sobs::
They're covering their faces in shame
Double meaning
Phagophobia - Swallowing or being eaten
Hylephobia - Materialism or Epilepsy
Peccatophobia - Sinning or Imaginary crimes
If you're gonna start making a phobia for all things, you need to give it a good "phobia" name. You can't tack it on to another already established one. Hylephobia is a fear of having epileptic seizures. It seems to perhaps be an extenstion of Hypochondria, an overall fear of being sick, focused on seizures. Even if you have no predisposition to the epilepsy, it makes some sense, seisuzres are scary Throwing "materialism" in there, makes no sense. So, you're afraid of the serious, and life changing symptom of epilepsy... aaaannndd.. owning too many collectible PEZ dispensers? Step your game up phobia namers! Stop taking long lunches and earn your pay! Or do you suffer from Ergasiophobia?!
Harvey Keitel is a fantastic actor. Suck it up and watch the movie!
Oh, come on. Now you're just messin' with us
Politicophobia - Politicians
Tyrannophobia - Tyrants
Walloonphobia - Walloons
You can't just throw "ophobia" in front of something and call it a fear! It needs to make sense. Everyone dislikes politicans at some point, that's a given. And who isn't afraid of a Tyrannasoaurus Rex. They've been extinct for a millenia, we'd all be freaked out if one started walking down Broad street. Walloons? Really? Some French people hanging out in Belgium get their own fear category? If we're just throwing ophobia around, how about another. Jerkophobia - Fear that jerks who name phobias will uneccessarily create phobias to keep their jobs and sound smart in conversations with cute waitresses!
She's WAY outta your league dork, don't even try
NO, everyone LOVES poison
Iophobia - Poison
Luiphobia - Syphillis
Meningitophobia - Brain Disease
Pnigophobia - Choking
Macrophobia - Long Waits
Lutraphobia - Otters
Now you're just taking my previous tirade, and mocking it with big words... you jerks! None of us actually like poison, diseases and trips to the DMV. We all fear our cats coming in to smother us whilst we sleep. We don't need a word to explain it. Those are just the things you have to deal with in everyday life, stop trying to label everything! That waitress will not give you her number, poindexter! Go home and oogle the cosplay girls from Comicon like the rest of us dorks!
I find your lack of pants... arousing...
Honorable Mention
Rhypophobia - Fear of defecating
Heheheh. They mean poop. Teehee.

Heh heh heh... poop... ::sighs::
