Anatidaephobia is the fear of being watched by a duck!

I'd love to see a video of exposure therapy being done on someone who suffers from this.

How about regional...

Commonly used here in Appalachia "cattywampus"
Means to be askew or off center...

I used in one day at a meeting with some engineers from Detroit, they loved it.... made me write it down for them.

funny thing is we also have the mythical "Wompas Cat" in Appalachia....

there arnt any strange words in RI but ive got a few questions on bubbler aka drinking fountain
all those questions were from ppl in florida and georgia

Here in New England most people say bubbler. I think that pretty much everywhere else in the entire world people say water fountain...not that those words are particularly interesting. Just thought I would point it out.

*edit*
Me and n. bicalcarata both live in RI. We must have both been writing at the same time. :lol:

How bout some proper spelling?

Colour, flavour, and humour tend to get me in trouble with non-Canucks! Note my use of the Oxford Comma!

Canada uses that spelling? I thought only Britan used that spelling...Interesting...

Yep, still use the British spelling system.

Also use meters and centimetres, and we still have the queen on our coins.
