Answer: Taylor Swift

That's right, while it may not have surprised you that there is no recognized university courses specializing in hurling yourself into a body of water, usually the sea, from a huge height, however, New York University (NYU) WAS the first university to offer a course focused on TayTay!

NYU, Salem State University, and Northeastern State University all still run courses on the megastar singer/songwriter.
Taylormania has reached as far afield as the bottom of the world too, with Auckland University in New Zealand also currently offering a Taylor Swift course.
I wonder how long the courses take?...a fortnight maybe?!

Answer: Clothes

Vestiphobia is an irrational fear of clothing. Like many phobias, this can manifest fear and/or anxiety in sufferers if they just THINK about clothes and needn't even have to be in the vicinity of any clothing itself. It can also be clothing-specific. Some people with this phobia can eventually learn to overcome the fear and accept the role of clothing in their life, some may spend years only being able to wear one or two specific types of clothing, the reasons for which can come down to, and be as different as, texture, style, type of item etc. There are some people who struggle with the fear for a longer term, doing all they can to avoid clothing at all costs, which for obvious reasons, can make their life incredibly challenging indeed.
Pediophobia is the fear of tiny dolls.
Having Telephobia would stop someone from entering into a phone booth.
Although specifically plastic food utensil phobia doesn't exist as a named phobia, Plastiphobia is the fear, disgust or anxiety of anything plastic, especially in the context of it polluting the planet. It is still to be fully recognized as a phobia, but more and more cases are being seen in recent years.
