aibophobia
Fear of animatronic toys especially, the 1999 AIBO ESR-7, ESR-210, ESR-220 digital doggies!
Called also 'Robophobia'.
Sony, the megacompany that made these 'partner' or 'personal' robots didn't see this coming I'm sure, but cobots (=collaborative robots. The science of making them is called 'cobotics'), are not always our friend: there's a culture of 'applied autonomy' that send these mere MIs (Machine Intelligents), to dangerous places and risky situations instead of humans in what is named aptly 'inverse technology'! One day these tele-robotics will retaliate against this injustice!

genetocracy
Antonym>> genetic underclass: the rapid advancements made in the field of biotechnology ushering what one writer termed the 'genetic-politics', or the political lobby action that would take place if genetic testing is going to determine who's the perfect machine and who are the mehums (mere humans) and the call for 'bio-freedom' for the 'genetically-challenged', 'bio-prisoners' born with defective genes that would end up to be ruled by the genetocracy.

caïque
The narrow, 1.2 km long mountain pass that visitors (a.k.a. tourons , mind!), must pass in order to be face-to-face with what's now being tirelessly given more than a 'sporting chance' to be one of the New Seven Wonders of the World (namely Petra, a.k.a. The Rose City).
Well, this chance is 10-sigma!
See this blog that I particularily liked! And... hey'all! DON'T VOTE PETRA!

bules
Hatred has no ends when it comes to Indonesian people and their xenophobic bias against English expats (or, 'bules' in the local vernacular), who try to hoist a country out of the shitpile that's called Islamist fundamentalism in Indonesia!
