Portia Rediscovered's Word of the Day is: hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
First one to define the aforementioned tongue twister gets my copy of Maureen Dowd's Are Men Necessary? torn apart by vicious right wing editing and commentary marks inside. (If you're unfamiliar with my relationship with this book, click here for insight.)
Contest Rules:
1. Authors on this site are exempt from said contest.
2. Looking up the word to define it, while completely expected, is for amateurs. Just an FYI.
3. If someone already defines it but you genuinely knew it without the help of a dictionary, I'll come up with a second place prize.
...come on people, I'm practically giving this away....

Fear of the sign of the beast.
Posted by: dan at June 6, 2006 07:14 AMI don't agree with number one. I think it's more a fear of the number representing the number of the beast.
If it was just fear of the beast- we'd call it:
beastakosioibeastekontabeastaphobia
You know I already knew this one.
Posted by: Captoe at June 6, 2006 10:38 AMfear of wrenches, yeah that's the ticket, the fear of six sided allen monkey wrenches used to screw in six sided botls with six threads into six inch holes and lots (probably six) different wrench heads turning counterclockwise in six different directions all at the same time, yeah the fear of that.

The L-Shaped Wrench of the Beast.
Yeah, I fear that.
IKEA puts one in every box. Coincidence? I don't think so.
