All Greek to me

desperance has snuck the word 'leucippotomy' into his Work in Progress.

Which reminded me of last night's dinner-table conversation about fear of tomato sauce: since phobias all have Greek names, we wondered what its name might be. The internet suggests "saltomaphobia" (which isn't particularly pleasing). Had we not supped quite so well, we might not have stumbled quite so heavily on the absence of tomatoes from the classical Greek diet - they've certainly caught up since!

I know someone who suffers from fear of apples...
