Alright, here's how our little twisted game will go.

A phobia, by general definition, is the fear of something fairly specific. I will start with the letter "A" and list a phobia. The next person will name a phobia beginning with the letter "B," with the next person onto "C," and so forth. Your phobia can be informal, such as "Spiders" (for the letter S, of course), but since we are on "A" I shall go for the formal term,

[color:"red"]Arachnophobia[/color] - Fear of Spiders

PS--If you use the offical, scientific name, please define the fear with a quick phrase and educate us as to what it is.

OK Justin, are we doing as many phobias as we can in a letter and then moving on, or 1 word per letter, then go to the next letter?

Because there are LOTS of "A" phobias - we have just begun to touch the tip of the iceburg, or do we move on to "D" now? (Can't think of quite as many of those, but at least a couple)

Michelle, I think this is an ABC game so we should say 1 word per letter, then go to the next letter. Some letters are going to be much harder than others so we'll just have to do the best we can with those.

I'll take "D" Demetia-phobia - fear of losing pieces of your memory or mind. So, next is "E"... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not too many for F, so how about: Frigophobia - Fear of cold or cold things.
