No GScholar hits, only 9 GHits and one of those is on How to Win Friends and Influence People. I'd almost believe this is something someone just made up one day. Mangoe (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * delete and salt This is not only gobbledegook (see here) "fun with greek" and there are no MEDRS sources in pub med but this also is connected with the recent vogue in "sensory processing disorders" (see Misophonia) that is overrun with neurotic people on the internet. On top of that per our current List of phobias article which will hopefully soon be deleted, "A large number of -phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. Sometimes it leads to bizarre results, such as suggestions to cure "prostitute phobia". Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines."

 * Delete. There doesn't appear to be anything notable about the subject or anything verifiable to reliable sources in the text.  Gnome de plume (talk) 17:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
