text: is there a name for someone who is afraid of shrimp?   it should be a 'kariophobe'. the greek for shrimp is, apparently, 'karis'. (mixing latin and greek is really not on, i'm sorry!) sorry, too, dory, yours is way too long - but it would look good in a medical report!  of course you could go for shrimpwimp or prawnscorner.  the tiny stuff that some whales eat by straining it through their mustaches is called 'krill' and i believe that a lot of it is tiny shrimp-like animals. 'a' is often used to denote the negative aspect of something - agnostic, for example means 'not knowing - so how about 'akrillic'?
