You know what its like on Wall Street, business are taken over or merge all the time and have to be renamed......sometimes with humours results:  Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W.R. Grace Company merge to become Hale Mary Fuller Grace. Polygram Records, Warner Brothers, and Keebler Crackers merge to become Polly-Warner-Cracker. 3M and Goodyear merge to become MMMGood. John Deere and Abitibi-Price merge to become Deere Abi. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining merge to become Zip Audi Do Da. Honeywell, Imasco, and Home Oil merge to become Honey I'm Home. Denison Mines, and Alliance and Metal Mining merge to become Mine All Mine. Federal Express and UPS merge to become FED UP. Xerox and Wurlitzer will merge and begin manufacturingreproductive organs. Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will merge and become Fairwell Honeychild. 3M, J.C. Penney and the Canadian Opera Company will merge and become 3 Penney Opera. Knott's Berry Farm & National Organization of Women will merge and become Knott NOW!

Sorry Jackie, as Trom says, it must have been before my time too. and you know how things go, cycles. The discussion was about phobias and the word for the fear of PB stuck on your palate before it evolved/regressed.

I wish I'd learnt Latin. I think you must be correct Ts.... Cibophobia might be the fear of food!

Because "cibus" is food (from my Latin days), I'd say something related to food, but being a fear, is it related to fear of food? Like Anorexia? Some sort of food-related disorder. I confess, because honesty is important, that I looked it up in my dictionary, but it is not there. (It is not on the scroll down list, that is.) And that is as far as I looked and had it been I would not post. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/phobia

Cibophobia might be the fear of food! it should be noted, at this point, that phobia is being too narrowly defined as 'fear', to wit (from AHD4): 2) A strong fear, dislike, or aversion so cibophobia is more likely defined as :dislike or aversion to food: link

Thanks, Olly, very much.
I did not know how the "ignore" works. Seems like he misses
out on a lot. Must be difficult living that way.
Thanks, again.
