What is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth called?
The word ‘arachibutyrophobia’ is derived from arachis, meaning peanuts. The full meaning of the word is fear of peanut oil sticking to the roof of the mouth. Arachis is a kind of oil found in many nuts and peanuts which stick to the roof of the mouth. In many cases, the saliva fails to dissolve this. A person is not able to extract the sticky thing, and thus faces embarrassment, especially in public places, and develops a fear of it.
