The International Dibs act of 1866 was ratified by 36 countries, including the United States of America, Mexico, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, and England. This act entitles the first representative of any country or individual or individual group to call “Dibs” (from the Latin ‘Dibimus’ meaning ‘to call ownership before others’) on any unclaimed item or position that has been set before the representative. It is essential to the act that “Dibs” is claimed, and without claiming “Dibs” one may not enact the International Dibs act of 1866

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.
