If the word stands alone, it means people who have irrational fears. It's that simple.
But "-phobian" can act as a suffix to replace any particular of the suffix "-phobia". The definition is for the person who has the mentioned phobia.
"Okay, children, today we are going to learn a new word - hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia." - The teacher told.

"You forgot a letter - p. It is supposed to be hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia." - The teacher's pet, sitting right in front of the teacher's vision, spoke out.

"Oh, it is a common misspelling, for the purpose of making the word even longer. Perhaps your parents didn't know about that, Ppeter."

"You don't need an extra "p". In fact, you don't need the entire word. Please get on with the lesson." - Effiscanlihardswalorkinstandofintroversestudane said out loud. - "We don't need a monstrous, writing-poems-excessively-long-words, truncated hippopotamus that is a foot and a half along."

Then he fell unconscious.

"What a phobian, a hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobian to be correct! He really risked his life for that. Certainly, his family doesn't know about that."

"A hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobian."

"Love that exaggeration. You get five extra scores in the examination."

Voice Mail Phobia

Foreign Film Phobia 

1) A term that can apply to anyone, particularly Americans, who are intimidated and/or resentful at the fact that other entertaining movies do in fact exist outside their country and are of a different language. This "resentment" is more of a type of 'refusal' to accept the fact that there is talent and originality by other movie industry's and directors outside of the country they live in.

2) Generally applies to Americans who are too lazy too watch a Foreign Film because it involves reading and/or they feel that any movie that is NOT in English could never possibly be worth their time nor live up to the greatness that they feel Hollywood is; therefore causing Hollywood to capitalize off Foreign films by remaking them into “American versions” for the “Typical” beer-drinking, loud, impatient, low attention-span, American.
Claude: “Wow, I saw this movie the other day where this woman is blackmailed and then imprisoned for like 13 years. But then she comes back for vengeance against the dude her set her up.”

David: “Oh really, that sounds interesting. I wanna see it. Who’s in it?”

Claude: “A great Korean actress, but you probably won’t know who she is.”

David: “Oh…wait, is the movie in English?”

Claude: “No, actually it’s a Korean movie. I remember you said you like all movies, especially good movies, so I’m pretty sure you’ll like this one.”

David: “Well, if it ain’t in English I ain’t watchin it! Anyway man, you’re a French dude; why would you watch a Korean movie?”

Claude: “Man, a good movie IS STILL a good movie no matter where it’s from.”

David: “Well….I’d rather enjoy what I’m watching, rather than reading it.”

Claude: “Aww man, you’ve got Foreign Film Phobia. That’s too bad. Well, never fear, Hollywood is making the watered down American version for your pampered ass.”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
