My good friend is TERRIFIED of bouncing balls. Any ball, any size! If she sees a ball, she imagines it bouncing and it scares her! What is this?

There is no specific term for that phobia.
It is referred to as a "specific phobia" because it is triggered by something specific.

bouncyballo-phobia. ;)
That really, really sucks.
Don't ever take her to a basketball game!
Find the latin words for 'ball' or 'sphere' and 'bounce' or some sort of other verb. Good luck.
I hope your friend gets over her fear... :(

Wow, bummer, I guess you won't be taking her out to the ole ballgame, will you?
