This Week's Word is...

Today's word is brought to you by A.C.E. I really can't wait for the responses to this one :-0!

~ARACHIBUTYROPHOBIA~

Best of "sounding-out" to all!


BTW, I am really thankful for the "warmer" temperatures here in chilly NY. 20 degrees feels warm!

Catch you on the flip side!


~~Okay, ready? ~~

Arachibutyrophobia: fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth.

Etymology: arachi- 'ground nut'

I thought y'all would like that one! Maybe we will try A.C.E. for next week's word as well. Have a good rest of the week.

I like momma's answer. It's the fear of something and I think the arachi part is spiders. Can I copy her answer? :)

OMG! I was SOOOOO wrong! What a funny phobia! Just wait til everyone sees the answer. :) Good one SIL.

Since it wasn't spider webs even though it did sound spidey, I had no guess. Chris has looked up different phobias for a message before and I remember him telling me that people do have the phobia this word describes. Weird!

i hate being wrong!! i can't believe that's a fear. can i get 1/2 point credit for getting the "fear" part right?? :)

i'm going to try to work these words into a post someday.
