Being afraid of Friday the 13th is nothing to be ashamed of. (Silly, but not shameful.)

My birthdays on a 13th, had some on a friday but Icant attribute any bad luck to the day.

Lovejoy-What bad things have happened to you today?

I am the kind of person who loves black cats, and will purposely walk under ladders. Friday the 13th holds no terror for me.

Is that really the name for it, if so how or who came up with that. I can't even pronounce it.

I didn't even realize it til you mentioned it! No big deal.

Be glad it's Friday!! Very Happy

I wasn't making fun of the fact that someone suffers from it lovejoy.
Flying in an airplane is my greatest fear so I know how it feels to have
a phobia.

Edit: The laughing emoticon was due to the word, not the fear

Trust me I won't even remember that word because I can't pronounce it
and I am glad you don't suffer from it. I can't imagine what it would be
like to be scared of Friday the 13th.

And I was just showing off by demonstrating I knew what it meant without needing to look it up. There's another one, triskaidekaphobia, which just means fear if the number 13, no Fridays involved. But my all-time favorite word is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. (I can pronounce it, too, believe it or not!) Look that up in your Funk & Wagnall's.

HA! Yup.

Friday the 13th is just another day.

I feel no different today than I did yesterday.

Wait...maybe that means something. I am STILL pregnant. It's a conspiracy. An evil day.

And here I thought that triskadeskaphobia (sp) was the name...I had no idea there was a specialized version of this phobia...

You will think I'm kidding you Merry Andrew but I'm not, my father died of pneumoconiosis which is a similar disease to your word. He was a coal miner.

It's also called Black Lung - my grandfather had it too. He also was a coal miner.

I'm very sorry to hear that, lovejoy and happycat. I meant, of course, that I love the word because it has 45 letters, not the disease that the word represents, however. (Would you believe I typed that from memory without looking up the spelling? Hope I got it right.)
