Kali,
Sorry you lost your tune singing the song ... at one time, BION, I
invented a method of sending full musical scores in pure ascii text. Of
course technology passed me by long ago, and no one needs it so I think
I have forgotten most of it. The timing was difficult in places on the
song .. I'll try to do better next time. };>
What messed me up on the definition was that the name of the phobia was
spelt incorrectly! <G>
The fear of having peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth is:
arachibutyrophobia
butyro = butter as in butyric acid that give butter taste
I guess arachi is a root word for peanut??
I went back to Google and searched it out, and I was correct on arachi
aracho-,arachi-,araki- Greek > Latin: legume; peanut
I also found confirmation that butyro is Latin/root for butter.
So, with the corrected spelling, your Poisoner is abominably correct.
<G>
l.d.
