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 Bakery – the 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.
What does this picture have to do with anything? Well, that’s a Palindromedary.
