Man: pantaphobia.

Man 2: what?
Man: that’s what it’s called pantaphobia. It’s not a fear of pants if that’s what you’re thinking. It’s a fear of everything, including pants I suppose, in that case, sorry go on.

Man 2: he hates crayons
Man: understandable

Palmaphobia

Having an irrational fear of palm trees. But not all trees, just palm trees. This is because they should not exist, they have no reason to exist. If a tree is going to be tall, it should at least be covered in branches and leaves, and not look like a giant schlong in the air. Like seriously, why do they only have like 4 giants leaves? What is the point in that?

Julia has figured out that Jaxon has palmaphobia, because he pisses his pants when he sees a palm tree.

Plastiphobia

The irrational and scientifically unsubstantiated fear of plastics in the environment. This fear has been propagated by those with monetary business interests to spread this fear in the effort to raise funds and grow their businesses by spreading falsehoods about the fanciful idea that plastics are the root if all evil in the environment.

The not for profit companies are attempting to create Plastiphobia in an effort to raise money based on the irrational fear of plastics in the environment.

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
