The term paraskevidekatriaphobia was coined by therapist Dr. Donald Dossey from the Stress Management Center/Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, and refers to the fear of Friday the 13th. He claims that when you learn how to pronounce the word (pair-uh-skee-vee-dek-uh-tree-uh-FOH-bee-uh), you'll be cured of the affliction. [Hammond]
