[edit] Phobia lists
A large number of-phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. [1] Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines. Some examples:
"... The expert phobia team at CTRN's Phobia Clinic is board-certified to help with Russophobia and a variety of related problems. The success rate of our 24 hour program is close to 100%"
"...We don't use hypnosis for Prostitute Phobia but our modern techniques are equally relaxing and enjoyable. Clients immediately notice that they feel different. Once the unconscious mind feels safe and learns how to respond appropriately, it will always know - so the results are permanent. Prostitute Phobia is gone. Forever." [1]

[edit] Non-psychological conditions
The following medical conditions have nothing to do with irrational fears. However, each usually has a psychological disorder of the same name which is an irrational fear. The behavior of an individual with the medical condition can be similar to the behavior of an individual with the psychological disorder of the same name (e.g., for both usages of Photophobia the person avoids light). The difference in usage is that for the medical term there is an underlying physiological condition that results in the behavior. For example, with medical Photophobia the hypersensitivity to light is sufficient such that at some light levels the person experiences pain which they avoid by seeking darkness. Removing the physiological cause of the hypersensitivity to light results in the person no longer avoiding light. With psychological Photophobia the person fears the light even though there is no current physiological pain caused by light.
Hydrophobia — fear of water (a symptom of rabies).
Photophobia — hypersensitivity to light causing aversion to light.
Phonophobia — hypersensitivity to sound causing aversion to sounds.
Osmophobia — hypersensitivity to smells causing aversion to odors.

Superhydrophobe — the property given to materials that are extremely difficult to get wet.
Thermophobia/Thermophobic — aversion to heat.
Xerophobia/Xerophobic — aversion to dryness.
[edit] Prejudices
One can readily use the suffix -phobia to coin a term that denotes a particular anti-ethnic sentiment, such as Francophobia. Often a synonym with the prefix "anti-" already exists: Polonophobia vs. anti-Polonism. See "List of anti-ethnic terms" for more examples. Anti-religious sentiments are expressed in terms such as Christianophobia and Islamophobia.

Biphobia — dislike of bisexuals, by either monosexually heterosexuals or homosexuals.
Ephebiphobia, — fear/dislike of youth.

Arachnophobiaphobia - the fear of people who are afraid of spiders. From Gilmore Girls episode 6.22, "Partings":
LORELAI: What's it called when you're afraid of people who are afraid of spiders? ‘Cause that one I’ve got.
EMILY: Oh, lord.
CAROLYN: I don't think there's a technical term for that yet.
LORELAI: How about arachnophobiaphobia? 'Cause that makes sense.
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia — fear of long words. Hippopoto- "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, hippopotamine has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear".
Luposlipaphobia — the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly-waxed floor (fictional, also from Gary Larson in the cartoon series The Far Side).
