Panthanophobia

A recurring occasional fear I've had all my life.

From Chatgpt:

My prompt:

What do you call: the fear of not being able to get to know everyone on the planet before death

"The fear of not being able to get to know everyone on the planet before death is not a formally recognized or widely used phobia term. However, it can be described as "Panthanophobia." The term is derived from the Greek word "pan" (meaning "all") and "thanatos" (meaning "death"). Panthanophobia would encompass the anxiety or fear related to the idea of not being able to meet or know every single person on Earth during one's lifetime. It's worth noting that this term may not be commonly acknowledged in psychological or medical literature, and fears can often be unique to individuals.

Xander: I've had this nagging thought creepy into my mind Bob. That I will never get to personally know the vast majority of the human race before they or I die.

Bob: Ultimately, one of the innate realities of life Xander. Billions will come and go without ever knowing each other.

Xander: I just sent this through Chat GPT and got this back:

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
