On January 14, 2006 I discussed triskaidekaphobia (seems appropriate to revisit the topic)
The literal meaning for triskaidekaphobia is 'superstition about the number thirteen', but it is also used by extension to describe 'fear of Friday the 13th'.
....definition is from Urban Legends.
You may read more about triskaidekaphobia in the Oxford English Dictionary (in GALILEO ).
Get the password for home use of GALILEO from your librarian!
