Zaphobia
"Zaphobia" is a word I created several years ago (1997 or so) when trying to create a unique e-mail address. Since Adams fans around the world have used the name "Zaphod" on every e-mail server in the known Universe, and due to the fact that I so dislike the string of numbers that would have followed the name (ea. [email protected], and the like), I came up with the word "Zaphobia."
I am by no means a Zaphobic, because I like aliens, though have never met one (that I know of). I am mearly the creator of a word, that I can only hope Mr. Adams would have appreciated.
zaphobia (za*pho*bi*a)
n.
1. A persisitant, abnormal, and irrational fear of two-headed aliens that compels one to avoid them, despite the awareness and reassurance that they are not dangerous.
2. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion to two-headed aliens.
Cheers.
