If you're afraid of something...

...PhobiaList.com has a name for it. Some of the more intriguing phobias:

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Aulophobia- Fear of flutes.
Dutchphobia- Fear of the Dutch.
Geniophobia- Fear of chins.
Lutraphobia- Fear of otters.
Optophobia- Fear of opening one's eyes.
Pteronophobia- Fear of being tickled by feathers
Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons. (??!)
My favorite, however, would have to be

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.
