I could have sworn agoraphobia meant fear of open spaces.
/* ---------- */

There's a "Peanuts" cartoon that has Charlie Brown sitting at Lucy's
psychologist booth ("The Doctor is 'IN'") and wondering exactly what's
wrong with himself.

Lucy asks is he's afraid of heights; if so, he could have acrophobia. If
he's afraid of enclosed areas, he could have claustrophobia. If he's afraid
of... (she goes through about eight Sunday panels with different kinds of
phobias.) Then she says that he could have agoraphobia.

	Lucy: You could have agoraphobia. Do you think you have agoraphobia?

	C. Brown: I don't know. What's agoraphobia?

	Lucy: The fear of everything.

	C. Brown: THAT'S IT!

	(Lucy is sent flying through the air when he yells that out. You 
	 can probably remember how Charles Schultz draws it.)
