Another phobia. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 17:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The OED has undefined:, undefined:, and undefined:, undefined:, undefined:, all of which ultimately derive from the 🇨🇬, whence I would take this phobia's name to derive. The undefined: bit stumps me, though; however, I wouldn't prescribe *undefined: (which'd probably mean "the fear of chefs" or something) in its place. The reference in the entry points to this quiz, which gives eleven more phobias, viz. undefined: ("the fear of washing or bathing"; from the 🇨🇬 undefined: (the perfect passive participial stem of ) + ), undefined: [sic] ("the fear of pain"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: ("the fear of needles or pointed objects"; from God-only-knows-where), undefined: ("the fear of cats"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:); undefined: ("the fear of stairs or steep slopes"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: ("the fear of dancing"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: [sic] ("the fear of thunder"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: ("the fear of church"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: ("the fear of nudity"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), undefined: ("the fear of fish"; from the 🇨🇬 + undefined:), and undefined: [sic] ("the fear of alcohol"; probably from + undefined:); I wouldn't regard such a source as particularly authoritative. As for direct attestation, the only legitimate use of an English word with this spelling that I could find was this one, though it seems to have nothing whatsoever to do with cooking (no matter: I'll add it to Citations:mageirocophobia). It is likely that this term will fail RFV.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 19:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

RFV failed, entry deleted. —Ruakh TALK 03:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Citation is gibberish
The Earls citation on the citations page seems to be gibberish. It comes from an entire passage that misuses words deliberately. Equinox ◑ 19:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably true. I have no idea what the book is talking about. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 23:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't even know if we accept the other one because it's not Usenet (I think). —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 23:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah...
This whole entry is misspelled. I know people have been using it since ~2006, but the etymon is mageirikos and Google Books shows uses of the correctly derived mageiricophobia going back to the mid-20th-century at least. It's a now common misspelling, not a proper term. — LlywelynII  11:47, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
