Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Alfred Hitchcock experienced ovophobia, a fear of eggs. “I’m frightened of eggs,” he told the Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci in 1963. “Worse than frightened – they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes, and when you break it, inside there’s that yellow thing, round, without any holes… Brr!” “Have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid?” he asked Fallaci. “I’ve never tasted it.” He never made a movie about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I knew a guy like that. Eggs truly creeped him out. I never knew there was a term for it. Thanks Marshal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I too know a guy who is truly creeped out by eggs, due to where they exit of the hen. Won't eat them - period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It would take me a long time to get tired of eggs and bacon. Certainly longer than my present 79 years and 11 months. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) My only egg related fear is Ovoshellphobia. That's the fear of broken pieces of eggshells in my cooked eggs. Edited March 19 by Cypress Sun 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I don't actually know. I don't do bees. But I remember a comic strip in National Lampoon, where the hippie was stirring honey into his tea while calling it bee poop. Then when the mundane expressed surprise at the term, the hippie went on to explain that bees ate pollen and pooped honey. One of them great comic strips that stays with you for years.

I'm not a honey lover by any stretch but I guess eating bee puke is better than eating bee crap. Fun fact - honey is one of the few (if not the only) foods that never go bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
