Lol-ish..

Is there a phobia name for the fear of open water?..I have that one...

^I only found the fear of Water, not open water. I also found the fear of Open spaces. Maybe you have a mixed phobia.

Aphenphosmphobia and Homophobia is what I have. Of course, neither of these offical, but I tend to have the strictest scrutency with Homosexuals. I'm quite certain that I used to be homophobic, but less so now. I avoid them at all times; I suppose you would say they make me unconfortable in a fearful way. I've recently have been getting better with it (I have a group of 7 lesbians and a few pairs of gay couples walk into work everyday... Of course my manager dissappears so I have to serve them *flicks off manager*) but I am not cured of it.

I cannot stand to be touched by others. It literally makes me cringe at the thought. Only an elite few will I allow them to touch me (or, to reverse the situation, I touch them).

For all you into Health careers Hellenologophobia- Fear of Greek terms or complex scientific terminology (I have this in my PSY 281 class)

->Dextrophobia- Fear of objects at the right side of the body.
-> Levophobia- Fear of things to the left side of the body.
Prob'ly the most intresting phobias on the list.

Not mentioning the somewhat hilarious ones. (like Phobophobia- Fear of phobias, Pantophobia- Fear of everything; this one covers them all!, and Urophobia- Fear of urine or urinating)

I'm afraid of heights and just about everything that moves. -sees a fly flying around her head and screams-:cry: I'm also afraid of deep water, being on a dock, cows, the touch of paper on my fingers, and many many more.

You have a Stradivarius? *gasp*

ChristopherArmalite, Bolshevism was one of the factions of communism when the comintern that was lead by Lenin. Translated, it means "majority," although the other faction, the Mensheviks (translated as "minority," basically socialists), truly had a majority. The Bolsheviks are the ones that assigned the names to the factions, to give the appearance that they were really more powerful and supported. The problem was that the Bolsheviks were the radical communists, so they were willing to fight for their cause more than the Mensheviks, and so they were the ones that ended up taking over Russia in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

I'm kind of ligyrophobic.
