"Fear of Enjoying Your Food" Nomnomphobia

It sounds like "fear of having a name"( as in "nom de plume")

Fear of "having no mo'" is good too.

The problem is that that IS a thing in this age.

In fact folks try to instill it in me. I am supposed to be afraid when I am without my cell phone. But alas... mentally I still live in the 20th century when folks would go hours on end with out access to phone service. So I don't get alarmed if I forget to grab my cell phone when I leave the house. And....that ALARMS me!

But I digress.

Its too ambiguous. Even in text it looks like a misspelling of "homophobia".

I guess you could call it "nomobophonophobia" .

Phobophobia — fear of getting hit by a Martian moon.

What about gnomophobia?

Those garden gnomes scare me.

Fear of having no cats: No-meow-phobia!

^ scary indeed.

you're all wrong.

nomophobia = no mo[re] phobia.

it's a new movement designed to stamp out phobias.

#nomophobia

^ This has created a new phobia for me , I'm scared I'll have no more phobias - nomo-nomophobia

What about Momophobia?

I think it's dumb. Not the name, but the fact so many people are such phone zombies they need to have a phone for their undead brains to function at all drives me crazy. My mother even said the other day she heard that people are taking their dogs to the park but not playing with their dogs at all because they're too busy being on the phone. That's just evil, dogs need a lot of attention. Cats might not need it as much, but I'm sure my younger cat would hate it If I spent all my time on the phone. He LOVES attention.

What I don't understand is why people want dogs any longer when they have phones.
