There was another one in The Far Side called "Luposlipophobia". It's the fear of being chased around a dining room table by wolves while wearing new socks on a freshly waxed floor. :)

Lupos- wolf
Lipo- fat

having worked in the operating room, I can assure you that lipo is indeed very slippery stuff, you don't want any of it on the floor while you're trying to move around, especially wearing paper booties.

Ah, but semantics - it's not fear of ducks biting you, it's fear of ducks watching you.
Geese though - is it me or is there something deeply unfair about an animal that has a beak and teeth?
People are afraid of some brilliant shite - Arachibutyrophobia = fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.

I almost suffocated that way, when I was a kid.
