3. POGONOPHOBIA: The fear of beards.

4. ERGOPHOBIA: The fear of work.

5. EMETOPHOBIA: The fear of vomiting.

6. ARACHIBUTYROPHOBIA: The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.

7. TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA: The fear of the number 13.

8. NOMOPHOBIA: The fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

9. EOSOPHOBIA: The fear of daylight.

10. HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA: The fear for long words.
