Since ancient times stinking has been regarded as a quality of great prestige and distinction (also see the origins of that word), and good stinking is a customary praise for someone who had provided stinking for the advancement of a cause or the solution of a problem.

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.
