GFY word of the day : Triskaidekaphobia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia

Quote:
Triskaidekaphobia (from Greek tris meaning "3," kai meaning "and," and deka meaning "10") is fear of the number 13; it is a superstition and related to a specific fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.

The term was first used by I.H. Coriat in "Abnormal Psychology".[1]
If I were rich I would offer $1000 in this thread for anyone who can actually pronounce
it without injuring their mouth.
