Here's a list of some honest-to-goodness, real phobias. I kiddeth not.
Anthrophobia- Fear of flowers
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Aulophobia- Fear of flutes
Auroraphobia- Fear of Northern Lights
Barophobia- Fear of gravity (In all fairness, if I fall off a building or my ripcord malfunctions while skydiving, I, too, shall wax terrified of gravity).
Bibliophobia- Fear of books (Many in our culture suffer from this one).
Blennophobia- Fear of slime
Bogyphobia- Fear of the bogeyman (Didn't we all have this one, as children? Hopefully, you grew out of it!).
Cnidophobia- Fear of string
Eleutherophobia- Fear of freedom (The Soviet Union collectively suffered this for, oh, 70 years, or so).
Geniophobia- Fear of chins (No wonder I can't watch The Tonight Show with Jay Leno).
Helmintophobia- Fear of being infested with worms
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words (AKA Supercalafragilisticexpealadociousophobia).
