G'day BM, I've recently had a real phobia about getting in elevators. I'm now taking steps to avoid them. 👍🇦🇺

I had a phobia of stairs so I gave myself a lift.

Now I think I’ve developed a phobia of German sausages.

I keep on fearing the wurst.

And of course, now we have purported "phobias" against sexual deviancy, when really, we're not "afraid" of it. It's just that we don't like it around us or our children. Can't we just have our OWN preference to not have this crap shoved down our throats? But now it's "hate crime" to suggest we don't want our kids sexualized by sexually deviant strangers.

Well said. It is why I ridicule all the nonsense.

Next up bestialityphobia.

I probably don’t need to tell anyone posting here, but in case….

This is all from Satan, “what is good will be bad, what is bad will be good.”

History has had some major points where one could see that the people of the time thought the second coming was near. None as bad as they were matches the depravity we are witnessing now. Including the 14th century bubonic plague or WWII.

Ya, I literally just came back from the Vatican. I should have noted that on my confession.

I pho bear to reply in kind because I can't fink of one.

My husband says that he used to have a fear of bosums but he reads the Times to keep abreast.

The Sun would likely be a better ‘read’.

Not to be confused with the Son. That would be Apollo. Soz I mean Jesus. How did I get those two mixed up?

Needs a bit less MSM of course.

But someone has to tell me the *news*.

It's great fun being a conspiracy theorist and I am proud to say that I am one.

Son and son is somewhat similar (not as exact) in Greek.

ἥλιος (helios) - sun

υἱός (huios) - son

First there is the word.

The significance of words is fundamental.

And, as you are intimating, goes back further than any history that we get to know about.

I think the most common phobia in today's world is factophobia, the symptoms include exclaming "you're a conspiracy theorist!" when actual facts are presented.

Michael, would a phobia of hair loss be a close shave?

BTW: poor Princess Anne, it was her worst nightmare.( The "incident" with a horse.)

I have a rat phobia, unlike those who pay money to stick a RAT up their nose to get a week off for their wee cough.
