Minty Clinch was a 16th century vagabond who plundered and raped his own kind but could not hack it when his grandmother in a waspie committed an act of buggery upon him with a wooden rod, leaving the distraught vagabond destitute, whereupon he took his own life.

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.
