We will NOT have another thread about sandwiches! Been there, done that, and it was awful. 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. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Re: Know your phobia's [Re: LukeJavan8] #201368 07/25/11 05:16 PM 07/25/11 05:16 PM Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 677 Middle Earth bexter addict bexter   addict Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 677 Middle Earth hehe before myn too to drag it back on topic...any guesses as to what Cibophobia is a phobia of? ----The next sentence is true.

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.)

I think you must be correct Ts.... 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 Re: Know your phobia's [Re: LukeJavan8] #201386 07/27/11 12:53 AM 07/27/11 12:53 AM Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,157 Land of the Flat Water LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,157 Land of the Flat Water Originally Posted By: LukeJavan8 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?
