C/W: ORANGES, AND A FUNNY MAN EATING THEM

Portokaliphobia is not a word you’ll find in any science journal, yet alone the common dictionary. There’s a term for the morbid fear of all citrus fruits (esperidoeidiphobia… If you were wondering), but not for the specific fear of oranges. But just because the word doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that the fear of an orange should be sidelined. Ask Charlotte, she knows best.

‘Portokaliphobia’ is a term coined by Everything Wants to Kill You (ewtky-blog.tumblr.com)
