Fear of underpants?

[Zoidberg]

Pantophobia - sounds like a fear of this place.

But it's not.  It's fear of everything.

From the Greek 'pan' and 'phobos,' also called Omniphobia, Pantophobia, or Panophobia, is a medical condition known as a "non-specific fear" or "the fear of everything" and is described as "a vague and persistent dread of some unknown evil", or only seeing the extremes to everything.

This month marks the 45th anniversary of the introduction of the TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the introduction of pantophobia - fear of everything - to the pop culture lexicon.

Lucy Van Pelt: Do you think you have pantophobia?
Charlie Brown: What's pantophobia?
Lucy Van Pelt: The fear of everything.
Charlie Brown: THAT'S IT!

The alternative spelling - panphobia - seems to be preferred as more correct.  But thanks to the impact of Peanuts on pop culture, we may finally have an underlying phobia to blame - or thank - for the apparent fear of underpants shown by certain celebrities who prefer to go commando while wearing miniskirts.

"But, I'm not giving in an inch to fear
cause I've promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it, to someone"
