PARASKAVEDEKATRIAPHOBIA
That’s what the fear of Friday the 13th is called. It comes from the Greek word “Paraskevi” meaning Friday, and when you couple it with the “unlucky” number 13, ta-da!
Excellent scrabble word.
Best of luck pronouncing it.
As far as it being an unlucky day, hooey! The Stars have enjoyed much luck in games played on Friday the 13th since the move to Texas. They’ve won 5 of the 6 contests with the only loss coming (appropriately) against the Devils, 4-0.
