Fear of Friday the 13th pronounced by our listeners

This morning, a few brave listeners called in to try and pronounce the word that means “the fear of Friday the 13th”

Here is the audio of those calls:

Thanks so much to those who played along this morning as we had a little fun on a very cold Friday morning.

To clear up some of the controversy from this morning, here is a link to the MacMillan Dictionary definition of the word: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/buzzword/entries/paraskevidekatriaphobia.html

Paraskevidekatriaphobia – The fear of Friday the 13th

Triskaidekaphobia – The fear of the number 13

Friggatriskaidekaphobia – The prefix frigga is based on the name of an ancient Scandinavian goddess who was associated with witchcraft and Friday making it similar to the fear of the number 13 on Friday.
