Fear of... uh... of... flaming spiders? Not regular spiders, just ones that are on fire.
Yes, that was a totally random guess. Are we allowed to use Google?

I checked and saw that arachibutyrophobia is a fear of peanut butter being stuck to the roof of your mouth.

Ah! Now that you mention it, that word was in the "Useless Trivia" section of my agenda.

Sorry, I meant the peanut butter mouth-sticking word. But, about the orinthophobia, I'm gonna guess fear of birds?

ORINTHOPHOBIA = it means fear of birds i think. what am i afraid of if
your trying to live life, and you think everything is fine, but then one thing goes wrong, and then another, and another, and you try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink, until you cant move, you cant breathe, because in reality, your in over your head.

Um... I'm not sure if there's a word for that particular phobia, stanley/smudger.
However, what is cibophobia? (As a hint, this is one that would really, really suck to have.)

Isn't that fear of food? I remember studying strange phobias in a class one time and food is what sprung to mind.
How about psellismophobia? I have the problem but I'm not afraid of it...

Yup, you're correct, it is the fear of food. No idea what that pselli-thingy is, though...

I don't even know how to go about pronouncing that... thing, let alone what it is. Are we allowed to use Google here, or are we supposed to just know?

It's the fear of not really caring. Not a real term, I just made it up using the power of Latin.

Ah, making up words with Latin, a wonderful skill for confusing the heck out of everybody... I should learn some Latin at sometime...
Anyways, here's a phobia that I'm sure none of us have: logizomechanophobia.
