The thing with dentistry is that it really is all in your head! - petaj, 2007-06-27: 03:21:00

This happens a lot in Florida, where it is sometimes referred to as Okeechobeepokeychokeyphobia. Like the Tarantella, they've choreographed a dance to rid oneself of this unnatural fear - the HokeyPokeychokeyphobia. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-27: 07:26:00

Oh, and don't forget about the less common (also found in Florida) fear: Pahokeepokeychokeyphobia. - ziggy41, 2007-06-27: 11:07:00

When the diagnosis of the phobia is confirmed - okiedokiepokeychokeyphobia. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-27: 14:38:00
