Several times, in the last few months, I've shared posts from the Grandiloquent Word of the Day FB page to this comm. So, I thought some of you might be interested in this announcement:

And a bonus word from their FB page:

Yafflephobia!

Yafflephobia
(YAF-ful-FO-bee-ya)
Noun
-The extreme or irrational fear of Woodpeckers.

From “yaffle" - a large green and yellow woodpecker (Picus viridis, family Picidae) with a red crown and a laughing call.
+
“phobia” via Latin from Greek - extreme or irrational fear or dislike of a specified thing or group.

Used in a sentence:
“Pinocchio was enjoying watching Saturday morning cartoons right up until The Woody Woodpecker Show induced a full-blown case of yafflephobia.”
