Hello, this is Six Minute English and I'm Rob and I'm Neil.
Today we're talking about buttons.
Yes, buttons.
Buttons are what we have on our clothes to fasten them,
but the word is also used for things that we push to make things happen.
Things like your bedside alarm, radio, toaster kettle.
We press hundreds of buttons every week without thinking about it.
Not everyone likes buttons, though.
Particularly the ones we have on our clothes.
It's a recognised phobia.
What is this fear called?
Is it?
Buttonophobia.
B.
Kompu no phobia.
Or C.
Colrophobia.
Any ideas, Neil?
