lfcrule1972 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Bogyphobia ??? Tell me you made that one up !!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 No, it's real, but, the site makes the common mistake most associated with bogyphobia. Bogyphobia is the fear of Humphrey Bogary movies, that you're stalked by Bogart, or that you are gradually turning into Bogart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
