Every now and again, a Friday happens to be day 13 of any given month. It doesn’t really mean anything, but individuals get spooked about this all the exact same, and this fear is known as Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Black cats aren’t scary since things they do are shed and maybe scratch a kid or two. There are a lot of individuals who sincerely believe in numerous superstitions. You are a Friggatriskaidekaphobia if you have a fear of the 13th on a Friday. Jason Voorhees won’t appear, even if you say the word in the mirror three times.
What’s the pronunciation of that?
”Fri-gah-tri-sk-eye-de-kah-fo-bia” is how the word is pronounced. Portmanteau means being afraid of Friday the 13th. With friggaphobia as the fear of Friday and Triskaidekaphobia being a fear of thirteen, they make a deadly combination. That’s why Friggatriskaidekaphobia is what you call someone scared of Friday the thirteenth. Witches and Friday go together. Freya-day was named after the German/Norse goddess names Frigga, or Freya. Ancient world sexism isn’t our topic for today although the day was named, as argued by others, after a female deity, making it have an association with witches. Triskaidekaphobia is what we call someone scared of thirteen. ”Tri” means three while “deka” means ten giving it a connection.
Anything exciting happen on Friday the thirteenth?
The short is no. No would be the long answer too. A correlation to anything with Friday the 13th has never been observed, other than a few people getting the “heebie-jeebies” or Friggatriskaidekaphobia. If there were a real correlation between Friday the 13th and things like car accidents, it would have been published and documented by now. More individuals drink on Friday, meaning if there were more accidents on Friday the thirteenth, it might be due to other things.
Doing something fun with the day
Superstitions are harmless, especially friggatriskaidekaphobia. There are some other silly superstitions that are part of tradition. ”MacBeth” is a cursed play meaning theaters will refer to it only as “the Scottish play” so as to avoid the curse. Just like Halloween, it’s a great excuse to have some fun with something silly, so put on a scary movie with the children and/or significant other. I would suggest Crystal Lake be one of the activities you don’t do though.
