sometimes this Greek element means a strong dislike or hatred for something and you'll see that if you look to many of the online phobia lists. - joe (sesquipedalophilia) friday

the politically-charged term "homophobia" comes to mind -- is up to the user I guess. Applying -phobe to everyday objects seems a bit like overkill in any case. Is our current POTUS a broccoliphobe or does he simply not care for broccoli. As for myself, I am definitely an okraphobe. Indeed, I fear the okra. No : too strong nausea. When I'm in a crowd I can get a light stroke of homonoia. I do like okra. I never have okranoia nor do I dislike spiders so I do not suffer from arachnonoia. Homonoia: not in the mood, not having the right mind for people. (though I keep saying dislike)
