40/paraskevidekatriaphobia

40/paraskevidekatriaphobia
Scavenger Hunt/40 - Phobias
Yes, it's Friday the 13th, folks, and there is actually a traditional word for it. Paraskevidekatria comes from the Greek language, where 'paraskevi' means Friday and 'dekatria' means the number 13.
The superstitions connected with this day are largely associated with Western culture, but thanks to the popular culture surrounding the number 13 itself, as well as Friday the 13th, it's seemingly almost a globally acknowledged tradition of sorts.
In fact, the fear of the number 13 has its own medical name: paraskevidekatriaphobia; similarly, the intense and irrational fear of the number 13 is known as triskaidekaphobia.

A cool idea!
I never got the phobia of Friday, 13th but just recently noticed there is no row 13 on planes (I was sitting in 14 and the row before me was 12)....
