Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

No problem to hear news on TV then, they seldom contain good news

So "sinister" means someone whose left-handed? Or leftist.

Phobophobia, fear of fears? I guess FDR was phobophobic.

Phobophobia, fear of fears?

I can understand this perfectly. A person that had various panic attacks in his life and who experienced them as something very unpleasant fall into a panic when he/she senses at the most minimal sign of a possible panic coming.
That's really when your self starts hunting you.

There should be an Abarophobia -- Fear of lack of gravity.

In the very first nightmare I can remember, I was blasted by a ray shot by an invisible alien (who was standing upside down on the bottom side of the fronds of a palm tree). His ray reversed gravity, and I fell upwards, all the way to the Moon.

You shouldn't worry about that. You'd have died way before getting to the Moon.

I have a very strong suspicion most of these phobias are invented just by adding "phobia" to the latin word for something... Thus dendronecrophobia should be the fear of dead trees...
