a phobia in which a person is highly disturbed when fingernails scratch against a vinyl surface. (the effect is the same to a vinylphobic as it would be to someone who cringes at the thought/sound/feel of fingernails scratching a chalkboard.)
Several students in class open up their vinyl folders, scratching the vinyl surface with their fingernails as they touch the folders.
The kid with vinylphobia cringes and covers his ears.
