Adjective
Pronunciation: e-mo-treh-GIC-o-mic

Of or referring to a situation that is melodramatic (thus 'emo'), somewhat sad (though not necessarily a genuinely tragic circumstance), and blatantly overblown (so much so that it inspires humor).

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.
