A slang term in statistics for a famous calculation error that results from mistaking the result of the equation "2*2*2" to be 6, instead of 8. The error is named for the statistician with whom the error originated.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
