its funny that the word for the fear of long words is such a long word
and why is abbreviated such a long word?
and also, why is phonetically not spelt phonetically?

makes you think...

The list didn't have my favourite phobia listed: fear of buttons. A number of years ago I remember seeing on TV (where all reported is truth!) a woman who had a fear of clothing buttons. Defies comprehension for most people but for her it was terrifying. The terror in her face when the reporter accidentally/deliberately showed her a button was very real. As for me, I have a fear of touching birds or fish. Anyone else got any "unusual" phobias?

There was a women who was deathly afraid of pickeled olives,
she said that they remind her of her dead uncles eye's. When she sees olives in a jar she runs screaming. honest to god truth.

Am I not seeing the difference between phonetically and phonetically.. or did you not type it right

[Troy711]

if something is spelt phonetically it means that it is spelt the way it sounds. EG if the word phonetically was spelt phonetically it would look something like 'fonetikly'.

get it now?

Heheh, I dont mind Kmart. I was in there last weekend looking through the singles and one of the dolts that works there put 2 copies of 'A Grand Dont Come For Free' (the new ALBUM by The Streets) into the the singles, marked at $4.44. And you know legally they have to honour that price heheh. I love cheap CDs.

cheapest CD i bought (new) was from sanity. ive never seen it for anything less then 30 bucks (it was a dance music CD so i highly doubt it would be in kmart or anything). on this particular day i saw it for 7 bucks! you beauty! i grabbed it straight away and when the chick (drools) scanned it chs goes 'ahh looks like its your lucky day... (whoo hoo i am thinkin') that will be 3 dollars thanks'. so i gladly handed over my measly 3 bucks and asked why it was so cheap and she said that when CDs get deleted out of the catalouge they cant send em back for a refund if they dont sell it so they mark it down heaps just to get rid of it!

You paid three dollars for a dance cd?? stuff that!! You should have traded them some dirt.

I work FOR K-Mart Hornsby every-now-and-then. I don't have any phobias, but I try to keep the hell away from cigarettes. DISGUSTING!
