AIBOHPHOBIA

According to the Uncyclopedia,

“Aibohphobia is a very rare psychological disorder and is characterized by the unusual reaction of fear and rage exhibited by the sufferer upon recognizing a palindrome. It was first discovered by Dr Hans Eresnahrd in 1991 who himself was a chronic sufferer of the disorder. It is now treated with Xanax.”

Typical palindromes include words like kayak or radar, names like Bob, Eve and Anna, or Yreka Bakerythe name of a real business  in Yreka, California - and sentences like     A Toyota’s a Toyota.”  

Or:

  • Aerate pet area.
  • Ah, Satan sees Natasha!
  • Evil, a sin, is alive.
  • Gate man sees name, garage man sees name tag.
  • Gnu dung.
  • God’s dog.
  • Goddamn mad dog!
  • Goldenrod-adorned log.
  • Ma is as selfless as I am.
  • Madam, in Eden I’m Adam
  • Nurse, I spy gypsies. Run!
  • Sex at noon taxes.
  • Tulsa night life: filth, gin, a slut.
  • Was it a bar or a bat I saw?
  • Wonton? Not now.

I’m sure you get the picture. 

And you can see why, even though Aibohphobia is not really a psychologically recognized disorder, fooling around with palindromes might actually drive you nuts.
