A word first uttered by Mr. Paul 'Pablo' Sheehan. Initially conceived as a mistaken pronunciation of 'cherubism' (a mutagenic disorder causing severe facial deformity of its sufferrers), the word has lived on, and indeed superceeded the correct word.

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.
