Being afraid of beautiful women is Caligynephobia.

... Being scared of being screwed by the wrong gender is homophobia

Now serious:

the longest place name on the world is in Wales
They cut it down to Llanffair because even the own people didn't know how to pronounce it

I found the full name it's: (59 letters)

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch


it means: "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave"

however, it is not all. The really longest is in Thailand. It reads: (hold on and count the letters if you will):

Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit

and that means as much as:

krungthep mahanakhon
The land of angels, the great city of
amorn rattanakosin
immortality, various of devine gems,
mahintara yudthaya mahadilok pohp
the great angelic land unconquerable,
noparat rajathanee bureerom
land of nine noble gems, the royal city, the pleasant capital,
udomrajniwes mahasatarn
place of the grand royal palace,
amorn pimarn avaltarnsatit
forever land of angels and reincarnated spirits,
sakatattiya visanukram prasit
predestined and created by the highest devas

I used to have a list of several hundred phobias but I don't rember where it is now.

That the name for being scared of long words is: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophopia ?

I think somone probably made that up, but it is on the list.

Ahhhjimgroovestersgonnakillmebyguttingmyeyesandthenmyheartoutphobia is my favorite.

Some you didn't already know, aquaphobia is fear of water, xenophobia is fear of outsiders, alluraphobia is fear of cats, etc. etc. etc.

Did you know that... there's a picture of a guy on the Glue Factory Forums (this isn't intentional advertising) who looks exactly like a teacher at my school. He looks like this. This may not scare the hell out of you, but it sure scared the hell out of me.

I didn't do it! My avatar did! I swear!

And how many of these -phobia's can you replace with -philia's? Heh heh.... Caligynephilia.

(At least, I *think* it's philia, but somehow it doesn't look right. I don't mind corrections.)
