Arabist

Ingenuously labeled, Arabist, refers to a person who specializes in or mastered the Arabic language, culture, and literature. Although it has roots back to medieval Spain, currently, and more often, it is used by ambassadors and foreign service officers from the US. Although it may not be a piece of knowledge that you sit back and digress or really incorporate it into existing knowledge of the middle east in the essence of "the now', rather Arabists are to credited with an amassment of the cultural translation we have.

Weird Phobias

With the enormity of the topic finding a few "odd man outs" out of many is very difficult, and for this case is even more demanding for almost all phobias have that weirdness about them. Hence, I go forth trying to find the ones where you sit back and go "now way" and "are you serious", and "no one can have that".

Blennophobia- The fear of slime
 I know what your thinking. Ghostbusters right?

Ideophobia- Fear of Ideas
Ideas inherently bad? I must say I cannot grasp this unless; someones ideas all have a negative undertone to begin with, thus, all there ideas bring harm or insecurity towards themselves. Be that as it may, ironically, in that situation the only way to recover is to begin with the very thing you cannot do. (For other phobias you come up with an "idea" and move about fixing it.)

Epistemophobia- Fear of Knowledge
no comment. 

Francophobia- Fear of France or French Culture
Yeah, well, I keep coming across ones like this for different countries and cultures, so I put it in here, however, there are many reasons for people to have a fear against a certain country. I added just because it is one I have never thought of, and it is such a prevalent fear.  The idea of it,of which I do not grasp, is why not incorporate all of them into one word; Its meaning along the lines of fear of a country (in particular or not)

Alliumphobia- Fear of Garlic
 Now I can understand disliking, from which, some type of "fear" of encountering it might happen. However, unless your a typical classical vampire its another one I cannot grasp.




I encourage you to find out more phobias from the link below. As you read through the list of phobias you should keep in mind that fears of "something" can go and come back. So if one does not make any sense to you, try to think of a situation where someone might be afraid that particular thing. It might help. 


PhobiaList

The Gargoyle

These easily distinguished grotesque creatures positioned alongside structures, gargoyles, even at the root of their hard stone bodies serve a deeper purpose. They were implemented in medieval Europe for cathedrals and churches as roof spouts to drain the water away from buildings. I find it a bit peculiar to hide a simple action with an obvious outlandish creature, but the world of earth is masked with oddities.
        I might add that despite being a "Medieval Gutter" gargoyle is  not the only proper way to depict one. A structure or even a sculpture might have/be a gargoyle for it has a unique look alongside draining water. In essence it can just be an artwork of distorted human or animal form. Also interesting to note is the word "gargoyle" can be used as an adjective and as such is worded "gargoyled", but I cannot say whether or not you would be discounted on using it.

Henotheism

                    Henotheism, in short, is the worship of one god or deity while accepting the possibility of others.  As such,  you worship your god/deity and that worship does not mean that it has to be the sole supernatural being of the universe. There are sub-categories of Henotheism; The belief that gods hold supreme power at different times and should be worship at those times (Kathenotheism) and the belief that only one supreme deity should be worshiped (whilst there sill being other deities).  (Monolatrism)

Can You Sneeze With Your Eyes Open?

      I always look around the web for various miscellaneous random phrases and facts and one that always has caught my eye is the "fact that you cannot sneeze with your eyes open". I, whilst shaking my head, always have to wonder why people post such "random facts" when in (fact) they are such clear fallacies. Not only is the first premise not true we can move on to the implied one where people have the notion of eyes popping out. Oh the agony...... But hey don't take my word for it take a look at the following link, and if that doesn't complement your need for knowledge search engines are always there to help to give a lending hand.

Is it impossible to sneeze with your eyes open? 
This link has a surprise question attached, and while it may be humorous, it either shows the capabilities of children to ask questions or how knowledge is lacking within humanity.


 So,  to take my pain away, I label this under Myth.
