Friday the 13th
Class, the word for the day is triskaidekaphobia. It means "fear of the number 13", and is usually used in specific reference to a fear of Friday the 13th. Today is Friday the 13th. Good luck.
i'm one of those - no 13th row on an airplane, no 13th floor or 13th room in a hotel...nope, no way, no thanks. And I have no idea why. Yet, today doesn't really scare me all that much.
