mageiricophobia
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /mæˌd͡ʒaɪɹɪkəˈfoʊbiə/
Forms: form: mageirocophobia
Etymology: From Ancient Greek μαγειρική (mageirikḗ, “culinary arts”) + -phobia (“morbid fear of”), equivalent to magirics + -phobia.
Senses: examples: text: Our own feeling about thirteen, especially when joined with Friday, has added another to the long list of phobias; treiskaidekaphobia, or "fear of the number thirteen" (some of the other phobias are the well-known claustro-, acro-, and agora-, fear of being closed in, of heights, of open spaces, respectively; less known are ailurophobia, "fear of cats," iatrophobia, "fear of doctors," nucleomitotophobia,^([sic]) "fear of atomic bombs," mageiricophobia, "fear of having to cook," and, recalling FDR, phobophobia, "fear of fear itself.")
ref: 1965, Mario Pei, The Story of Language, page 254:
text: I was quite excited when I came across "mageiricophobia"—an intense fear of having to cook. Perhaps I wasn't just lazy after all—perhaps I had a phobia! It took no more than a half-minute of reasoning to shoot down that theory. My phobia, if there is one, is not fear but a series of lacks: lack of interest, of enthusiasm, of talent.
ref: 2001, Hazel Josephine Barton, "Could I Have a Few Words with You?", A Wise Choice of Words, p. 355
text: Ah, Thanksgiving Day is next week... So Mageiricophobia is ablaze again and I've determined its cause: The mental and physical strain of menu planning and the constant contact with place setting arrangements, pots and pans, slicing, dicing and stuffing turkeys, only to witness food evaporation in mere minutes with a bigger mess to clean up afterwards.
ref: 2007 November 17, “The Cure for 'Mageiricophobia'”, in Northwest Indiana Times:

Language: English
Part of speech: noun

Etymology: Coined by psychiatrist Milton Arnold Dushkin in the early 1960s, from nucleo- (“atomic nucleus”) + mito- (“mitosis”) + -phobia (“fear of”), in reference to a supposed resemblance of atomic fission to cellular division.
Senses: examples: text: Nikita Krushchev's war of nerves was plainly having an effect on the U.S. citizenry... There were the usual neurotics. In Chicago, public officials received a spate of calls from women complaining that their hair curlers were radioactive, from men suspicious of the olives in their martinis. (Chicago Psychiatrist Milton A. Dushkin named the ailment "nucleomitophobia"—fear of the atom).
ref: 1961 September 29, “The People: Ready to Act”, in Time:
text: A physician says the Nuclear Age has spawned a new phobia—nucleomitophobia, or fear of the atom. An article in Today's Health, a magazine published by the American Medical Assn., said public officials have received a rash of calls from persons who believe they are radioactive.
ref: 1961 November 19, Cedar Rapids Gazette, page 122:
text: When they are frantically expanding armament and making preparations for war, and they need to create war hysteria, they encourage man-made nucleomitophobia to spread rampantly, letting people know how radioactivity is already "threatening normal life in the United States." But when they want to sell their milk, they have to try "to find ways and means to set people's minds at ease regarding the question of radioactivity." Under the capitalist system, which is characterized by irresoluble contradictions, such jokes cannot be avoided.

ref: 1988, Brian Stableford, "American Book of the Dead", Fiction & Fantasy Book Review Annual
text: I SUFFER, I HASTEN TO SAY, FROM NUCLEOMITOPHOBIA, THE FEAR of atomic attack, and my quest for a cure has led me to grapple with the great debate on war and peace as it is being carried on in the United States.
ref: 1999, Arthur Herzog III, The War–Peace Establishment, page vii:
text: Fear of nuclear weapons is known as nucleomitophobia. The same term applies to fear of atomic energy... The fear is based on a feeling by individuals that they have no control over the fate of the world and that nuclear weapons can kill off all of human life and civilization. This fear is also related to a fear of death and a fear of apocalypse, or the end of the world.
