Wait. That's the fear of large hippopotami equipped with alligators. I swear I've seen that in a fiction book somewhere.

People who fear long words are scared of the word that labels their phobia. Oh the paradox!

There's also the fear that a duck is watching you. Hell, anything can be a phobia, so long as there's a word for it in latin.

A duck? Where?

What about a phobia of the opposite sex.

That would suck.

I think its quite common actually and it dosn't suck that much for you anyways since your sexual preference is men!

Anthrophobia is fear of men and I think gynophobia is fear of women.
