Did you know? Pedophobia is the fear of soil – NOT children; that would be paedophobia. Similarly a pedophile is someone who has a strong affection for soil. Not children – that would be someone who thinks he is great but is actually a screwed-up man. Someone who lives in a flat on Linnett Close, Chingford, and regularly visits a building on Vestry Road, Walthamstow. -------------------- |
