	Could anyone tell me where the route for coulrophobia comes from?

	I got THREE!! wow

	Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English gives: Greek: "kolon" and "kolobathristes" Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon gives an apparently unrelated definition of "kolon" and nothing for "kolobathristes." Unless I don't know how to read the Lexicon, which is entirely possible.

	God I love all the useless trivia I pick up on this site - next time someone freaks out over lightning I'll calmly inform them that it's a mild case of emetophobia and there's nothing to fear.

	*Brontophobia... that was embarrasing

	Brii:	Mar 14th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT	5 points
	This is great, I can now tell a good half of my friends that they're coulrophobic and they won't have a clue what I'm saying.

	As all the answers end in -phobia, surely just putting the first bit of any answer should suffice?! Difficult enough anyway. I thought Cocophobia was going to do for fear of clowns!!

	i tried every spelling for fear of flying - obviusly noy the right one though - ah well !!

	Nice quiz. Would be good to have one the other way round, as there are so many strange phobias out there.

	Ron Weasley has Arachnophobia

	gushuss32:	May 15th, 2009 at 10:42 GMT	4 points
	there are multiple acceptable terms for fear of flying, as according to Merriam Websters and the DSM for specific phobia. They should include all of them, no? aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromechanophobia

	Tried aibohphobia but it's not there.

	RandallPinkston:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 07:18 GMT	9 points
	Those with fear of heights should not look at the percentage drop between acrophobia and the six below it.

	mollymay:	Aug 4th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	-3 points
	Okay, is there a fancy scientific -phobia word for 'the fear of admiting ones fears'? Because i have a serious case of THAT!!!!! Truely i do!

	mollymay:	Aug 11th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	-4 points

	Spelling the words are hard enough, let alone knnowing them too...

	Great quiz. Some other suggestions: Ailurophobia- fear of cats, Triskaidekaphobia- fear of the number 13, and hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- fear of long words!

	evillttlimp:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 17:35 GMT	1 point
	Only reason I know about coulrophobia is from that one time I looked up what it was... 'cause I have it.

	bglyon:	May 25th, 2011 at 06:30 GMT	1 point
	accept astraphobia, the more common name for fear of lightning and thunder, also aerophobia works for flying

	Heatbag34:	May 31st, 2011 at 18:21 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz! Missing my favourite one though: Zemmiphobia... Fear of The Great Mole Rat...

	NvjdsIsSmart:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 15:46 GMT	0 points
	What about pantaphobia?

	Rob42:	Jan 23rd, 2012 at 09:54 GMT	1 point
	Not an easy quiz at all. I only got two, some of these "phobias" have awfully strange names, don't they?

	wickedsmileyify:	Feb 3rd, 2012 at 04:47 GMT	1 point
	No arachibutyrophobia, fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth?
