The Savage Chickens cartoon for September 20, 2024 by Doug Savage (shown above) is simply titled The Fear, and describes an obscure one – thalassoharpaxochorokrokodeilophobia. If you look at Answers there is a web page titled What is the fear of pirates called? which explains:

 

“The word should be Thalassoharpaxophobia. Thalasso is sea or ocean, harpaxo is robber and phobia is fear. You'd have to be crazy not to be afraid of pirates if you were a mariner.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back on August 30, 2013 I blogged about Uncommon fears and, as shown above concocted the word Hoplocynohydrophobia.When I just googled it, I found no one else has used that new word.
