    I wish to coin a new word to mean the panic that gets developed when you come to know, through Google that an idea that you thought as unique, worked out for so long, exists already. What's your suggestion? 1. itexistophobia 2. Googleophobia 3. patentedophobia 4. 5.

    yeah - and #2 is for the worst case scenario where you only find out the idea already exists when you are trying to register the domain name....

      Yeah truly! Even this applies when you try for any account name online. I had that when I couldn't get a gmail account on my real name! :(

          I would suggest from the Ancient Greek origins it would be something along the lines of KainoIdiologiProaGnosticoPhobia. New Idea Previously Known o Phobia :)

            Centophobia Close to CentosPhobia. People'd think you don't like Linux.

                Ohbuggerophobia! Although, on second thought, that suggests a possible fear of something else entirely!

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                    but the meaning is exactly the opposite. What I'm referring is about finding something *old*. If it exists already, it existed already :D So wrong guess! Let's find a new word :)

                        okay I typed it in a hurry. let me explain it again? What I asked for was, "The fear of finding something existing". something existing means- it's old. It exists already. But the phobias that you mentioned are all about trying something new that doesn't exist? Trying to change from existing ones. Did this confuse you more? hehe :D
