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,

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