okay, as I've been clued in by Olly (thanx), I see what happened now, and I'd sum it up by saying I didn't see Luke's link (which defined phobia, as did I, although I explained why I did). I really can't see the "point taken", I guess, since I also defined cibophobia with my link, so it's not like I totally mantled him, even though I'd not seen his post.
I'd also posit that the chances of my actually mantling Luke are slim, at best.![]()

Land of the Flat Water Just guessing here, from my Latin days: Omphales, Omphalos or
something of the kind was an ancient queen, of Lydia or some
such place. She had a god (Hercules????)serve her while wearing
a dress. So Fear, aversion to cross-dressing?????
----please, draw me a sheep----

Sure, I was just remembering the laugh our class got out of
the story of that queen. But that was many decades ago.
And it is a phobia: so not contemplating one's navel, but
an aversion of some sort. Many people today pierce their
navel, no aversion there, rather attraction.

down under I can't see how being omphalophobia would be a problem
....unless they had a lint problem they had to attend to on a regular basis.
