Word Of The Day

Paraskevidekatriaphobiacs beware!

HERE’S YOUR WORD NEW for the day: Paraskevidekatriaphobia. It’s derived from the Greek words ‘Paraskeví’ and ‘dekatreís’, meaning ‘Friday’ and ‘thirteen’ respectively – so, as you could probably guess, it’s the word meaning an irrational fear of Friday the 13th.
