I'm not scared of clowns but I find them very boring and I yawn more than laugh

I NEVER have liked them! They're awful! Mimes aren't bad...for about five minutes.
I thought maybe girl clowns aren't too bad...but naaah! No clowns! I don't even like the word!

Clowns don't bother me at all. Though I don't necessarily find them funny, I do think they are somewhat endearing.

For some people, fear of clowns is a proper phobia, it's called coulrophobia.

A-Z list here - http://www.phobialist.com/ - including:

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks
Nyctohylophobia- Fear of dark wooded areas or of forests at night
Pogonophobia- Fear of beards
Pteronophobia- Fear of being tickled by feathers
Sesquipedalophobia- Fear of long words (that's a bit of an unfortunate one :lol: )
Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow or the word yellow

I'm not terrified of clowns like I was a child but I still prefer to avoid them. Though, paradoxically, mimes don't bother me :shrug:
