    I wonder why they call it triskaidekaphobia (literally three-and-ten-phobia) instead of dekatriaphobia (thirteen-phobia) or something more like that, especially since I'm pretty sure there's also paraskevidekatriaphobia (literally friday-thirteen-phobia). It's weird.

    I haven't spent a lot of time over them but I always enjoy phobia names when I come across them.

    Many noun forms of verbs are quite good, in part due to their uncommon use.

    For example: pomposity
