Favourite Strain of Ebola?

Phobia does not necessarily mean fear. It means dislike.

What's the fear of being sober called then?

 

"****" is a Czech word and the literal translation is "Diseased Cocoshunter"

 

Surely condoms are the solution to this problem?

 

It doesn't just mean dislike at all. It will come from some Greek word meaning, "fear".

Just about all English words with "ph" in them come from Greek words, just saying like. Apart from phishing, I'm guessing.

 

The word phobia comes from the Greek: φόβος (phóbos), meaning "aversion", "fear", or "morbid fear"

 

Depending on how you look at it, it isn't really a problem at all.

 

or mid 19th century: perhaps an alteration of the archaic noun puff in the sense 'braggart'.

Which is wot I said. It doesn not necessarily mean fear. It can mean dislike (as in aversion to)

 

The original Greek word didn't mean aversion though, the English language made it that way, they bastardised the word.

 

Who gives a **** ya mickey basturt?

 

Did they, aye?

 

Like we do with all words - that's how language works.

The ambulo- bit in ambulance, ambulocetus etc comes from the Latin verb ambulare (I knew this Higher would come in useful at some point).

Ambulare = to walk.

 

Correct, Bib. Language is a living thing which evolves over time.

 

Unlike the inhabitants of South Lanarkshire.

 

Unless you're French, in which case the language is enshrined in law and can only be added to by the virtue of charters or amendments whereas we make words up all the time and within a year or two, it's in Oxford dictionary.

I call the phenomenon "Braxapparance", let's get this word into the Oxford Dictionary for 2016!

 

I ****ing hate when they add new words like "selfie" or "*****poof"
