Fear or phobia of being "Fleishig".
Jewish law requires that one wait six hours between eating
meat and dairy. Many religious Jews have thus developed a phobia for eating
meat during day hours because they "might" want to
eat something dairy later on in the day.
("Fleishig" is the Yiddish word for "Meaty").
I'm starving. All they had was
meat - which I naturally couldn't bring myself to
eat because I suffer from a severe
case of Carniphobia.
