In order to help you overcome your fear
of what the Chinese call the Lord of Distress,
I suggest you try confrontation therapy…

Lexicographer 1: Hey, we need a word for "the fear or dislike of the number 13."

Lexicographer 2: How about "tridecaphobia"? The "trideca-" prefix is Latin for the number 13, like "penta-" for the number 5, "octa-" for 8, etc.

Lexicographer 1: Great, that's perfec... Wait a sec... How many letters are in the word "tridecaphobia"?

Lexicographer 2: <evil grin>

Lexicographer 1: Nope! We're not doing this again! We learned our lesson with "lisp." OK, we're calling it "triskaidekaphobia" instead.

Lexicographer 2: Boo, you're no fun at all.

Every thirteenth day, I wear this ring, and only ever on the thirteenth. Please remember it's bad luck to be superstitious. Besides, it's not even Friday yet. There's only 2 Friday 13's in 2024. 🤟😁🤙
