trypophobia


Time to get over your trypophobia.

トライポフォビアtrypophobiarepetitive pattern phobia)は[1]、小さな穴や斑点などの集合体に対する恐怖症のことで、ギリシャ語trypo(punching, drilling or boring holes)+ギリシャ語phobia恐怖症)を掛け合わせた造語として、2005年に命名された用語[2][3]
日本語では、集合体恐怖症と通称されることもある。

密集恐懼症英語:Trypophobia),又稱密集型恐懼症密集物體恐懼症密集(型)綜合症群聚恐懼症或是多孔恐懼症,是恐懼症的一種,它的主要症狀是對密集排列的相對小或是有孔洞的事物很敏感,[1]如:池塘里的青蛙卵、蜂巢及密密麻麻的小點等。「Trypo」在希臘語的意思為很多孔洞。

目錄


The term trypophobia is believed to have been coined by a participant in an online forum in 2005.[5] The word is from the Greekτρύπαtrýpa, meaning "hole" and φόβοςphóbos, meaning "fear".[5] Groups on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram exist for self-identified trypophobics to share and discuss images that they say induce the reaction.[5][10]
Because trypophobia is not well known to the general public, many people with the condition do

Phubbing



Phubbing is a term coined as part of a campaign by Macquarie Dictionary to describe the habit of snubbing someone in favour of a mobile phone. In May 2012, the advertising agency behind the campaign, McCann, had invited a number of lexicographers, authors, and poets to coin a neologism to describe the behaviour.

每日一詞 :Phubbing |戒斷手機成癮,拒做“低頭族”
你是整天都與手機難分難捨的“低頭族”嗎?
我們的生活似乎正備手機吞噬。作為手機的重度使用者,時報科技專欄作者Kevin Roose為“手機成癮症”及相關負面影響而困擾。他寫道:“心理學家將這種行為命名為'低頭症'(phubbing) ,也就是你為了手機而冷落某人。”
Phubbing一詞是phone(手機)與snubbing(冷落、怠慢)的組合詞。 phubbing意指忽略你身邊的人、只關心手機的行為;其衍生詞phubber即人們常說的“低頭族”。對“phubber”群體而言,過度使用手機消解了他們的注意力。對此,Roose分享了他的應對方案 。
