on the other hand, we could just have a laugh. . .

and smile at the expense of those who suffer at least once if not thrice a year from
paraskevidekatriaphobia; the word is derived from the concatenation** of the Greek words
Paraskeví (Παρασκευή) (meaning Friday), and
dekatreís (δεκατρείς) (thirteen), attached to
phobía (φοβία) (fear); the term
triskaidekaphobia derives from the Greek words
tris (three),
kai (and), and
deka (ten) (the whole word means
three and ten). . .

so there you have it!
(**don't ask me what this means, I haven't a clue)
