Fear of the number 8?

Regrettably, no.

I'm sure my mate has this - its a fear of Peanut Butter, cant say I'm overly keen either.

You've almost got it right -- I feel inclined to award you the palm. But while peanut butter is involved; there's a bit more complexity to the matter, than that. Can you expound further?

He is afraid that the Peanut Butter would stick to his mouth, he had a gagging relex afew years ago with it and had to use lots of water
to rinse his mouth out to get rid of all the Peanut Butter.

Hope thats what you wanted to hear.

 

[Calthrop]

That's the biz: the phobia is about peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth, or the sensation thereof; as distinct from peanut butter per se.

The floor's yours !

Is there a -phobia word for people who have a phobia that they don't have any really strange phobias?!

No because that would be paradoxical.

 

[Peterthegreat]

No because that would be paradoxical.

The word is phobophobia.

 

[DaleCooper]

The word is phobophobia.

No it's not. That would be a fear of phobias. The question can be restated as "Is there a name for things that don't have a name?".
