i only knew the word in your title because i had a coworker who would teach kids words that meant fear of things and do a trivia with them giving the winner a silver dollar... the kids loved it, i rode with him a few times and learned a few new words, thanks for bringing the memories back with your wonderful write... hugs

I never knew that word but found its meaning from what you said in comments below. Good one, Edward. I just ignore these kinds of thoughts now, but my mom made me a little superstitious from these kinds of beliefs when I was growing up

Actually, Tom, I wanted to use a more apt title, Paraskevidekatriaphobia, but it's just too long and looks ridiculous, lol
