Here is a small bit of trivia for you to impress your friends (or loved ones) with tonight as you celebrate Friday the 13th!
Friggatriskaidekaphobia
The
fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia -
"Frigg" is the Norse goddess whom Friday is named after and
"triskaidekaphobia" means the fear of "13". It's also known
asparaskevidekatriaphobia, partly from the Greek word Friday. It is a
real fear - some people who have this disorder are even too afraid to say the
words “Friday the 13th”. Others avoid flying on a plane, going to work, or even
getting out of bed. According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia
Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, millions of Americans are afraid of
Friday the 13th. Symptoms of this fear range from mild anxiety and a nagging
sense of doom to full-blown panic attacks.
