Greetings to you in Old Zeeland from us here in Nieuw Zeeland.

What a turn up for the books, I bet even Gary Larsen didn't anticipate your problem :^O

Well, I am sure that your phobia has yet to be fully researched and named by the medical profession, so I am going to steal a march on them and create my own word for the fear you feel when you KNOW you are being watched by ducks.

Are you ready? OK, here it is:

Ornithocularanatidaephobia

The irrational but nevertheless real fear felt by people who know they are being watched by ducks. © 2003 Billy T Enterprises Unlimited B-)

Unlike other phobias though, this one has a straightforward cure. Do you own a shotgun by any chance, and a reasonably useful gun dog?

Cheers

128047 2003-03-16 06:25:00 Well hello you European type person, what attracted you to the PF1 forum (and can you understand the accent we NZer's have). You might just have to move away from the canal (although the ducks may follow you :D) Dolby Digital (160)

I think it was probably the paparazzi photo Billy. Wouldn't she be wearing her witches britches in the authorised one?

Hmmmm............

What a recondite use of the word loose cicero ;)

Do you mean that our audience will suffer a lack of stability in the rectal area, or that moral turpitude might ensue? ;\ :O

128050 2003-03-16 22:09:00 Pantophobia is one that has always amazed me. It's a morbid fear of everything. Imagine you wake up in the morning and it's "Aaargh the bedside table! Aaaaaargh! A clock! On and on.

Don't think I've ever met a pantophobe but I suppose they're a bit strung out.

Thank you for that Billy. I feel heaps better now I can put a name to my phobia. You are a lot cheaper than Doctor Phil. :p

No shotgun yet, and so far the closest thing I’ve got to a gundog is this (sal.neoburn.net)

Yes, Dolby Digital, your accent is a bit hard to understand, so if you could type a bit slower from now on please? :D

That is, if they can get over their fear of ropes, nooses, heights, falling, choking, dying, afterlife, eternity, decison making and their overriding fear of fear itself.

Actually, I thought Pantophobia was the fear of trousers, or perhaps the fear of large dogs on hot days. :|

Cheers

With apologies to Pantophobes everywhere, though their
fear of computers will stop them seeing this and their fear of
phones, talking, meeting people, reading or listening will probably protect
them from my crass insensitivity to their most delicate condition. :8}

Literally, flatulence. Figuratively, the repeated and compulsive uttering of obscenities.

Memorably used in a 1994 headline in National Business Review concerning simple-minded perceptions by the operators of the old bulletin boards (BBSs) as to what it was appropriate to censor in anticipation of new legislation (Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act, 1993) coming into force.

"Bulletin boards ban boobs, bums, borborygmus".
