The 13 landing on a Friday only happens each and every so often. Despite the fact that there isn’t really any reason to be worried over it, many get scared and it is called Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Granted, most black cats won’t do anything more harmful than shed or do that annoying thing with their paws. You will find a lot of individuals who sincerely believe in many superstitions. The word for being scared of Friday the 13th is Friggatriskaidekaphobia. If you say the word in the mirror three times, Jason Voorhees will still be a fictional character.
What is that word again?
It’s pronounced “fri-gah-tri-sk-eye-de-kah-fo-bia.” Being scared of Friday the thirteenth is called Portmanteau. Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, and friggaphobia is the fear of Friday. Put them together and you have Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Friday is somehow correlated with different witches. Friday ended up being named after Frigga, or Freya, who was the German/Norse goddess naming it Freya-day. Ancient world sexism is not 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. The come together because “tri” means three and “deka” means the number 10.
Any Friday the thirteenth things happen?
There is not anything really when keeping it short. No would be the long answer too. Nothing has ever been seen happening on Friday the thirteenth that was out of place, besides all the friggatriskaidekaphobia, or individuals getting the “heebie-jeebies”. If anything were actually to happen on Friday the thirteenth, someone would have noticed by now and written it down. Even if there were more accidents happening Friday the thirteenth, more factors would have to be accounted for besides the day like the fact more individuals like to drink on Fridays.
Doing something fun with the day
Friggatriskaidekaphobia and other superstitions won’t hurt a fly. There are still superstitions that exist as tradition today. ”MacBeth” is a cursed play meaning theaters will refer to it only as “the Scottish play” so as to keep away from the curse. Watch a scary movie with your family or friends, and use this as an excuse to have some fun. You may want to try to keep away from Crystal Lake though.
