It appears to me that brontophobia is a fear of thunder Apr 4, 2009
reesetee I don't know, sionnach--Lizard Lick is pretty good, but I always liked Dam Neck, VA (part of a U.S. Naval Air Station). Dec 21, 2007
seanahan It's a race for the first hilarious comment to be posted brontephobia. Dec 21, 2007
sionnach One of my favorite placenames on this little planet of ours has always been Lizard Lick, North Carolina.
There's something intrinsically exciting about saurian salivation. Especially where those thunder lizards are involved.
I admit it. I'm a brontosauroptyalophiliac. Dec 21, 2007
uselessness Now there's an image. When dinosaurs roamed leaped around the earth... "Incoming!!" Dec 20, 2007

However, I believe the preferred style of lizard locomotion is leaping, rather than thundering. Dec 20, 2007
uselessness Isn't it literally "fear of thunder"? I seem to remember brontosaurus meaning "thunder lizard" because of the booming sound it probably made when it walked. Dec 20, 2007
sionnach Fear of inclement weather on the moors. Dec 20, 2007
