A special flavor of angst, emanating primarily from teenage/tween/young adult girls, homosexual guys, and heavily metrosexual guys. Best witnessed at any high school or undergraduate college, shopping malls, and on shows such as Glee, Gossip Girl, and pretty much anything on the WB.

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.
