Examples

“Here’s where all Wiseacres, Fuss-budgets and cryophobes (cryophobia, morbid fear of cold) get off. The remainder of this talk is for the young ones, who, because they know no more about it than I do, do not bother their heads about avoiding exposure except as a matter of their own personal comfort.”

“If you dread cold and ice you are both a psychrophobe and a cryophobe and should hie yourself to warmer climes.”

“It’s bad enough under normal circumstances having a wife who can’t stand cold weather. But having one like mine who morbidly fears the freeze makes it beyond belief when the temperature skids below zero. No way can you know just how bad it is unless you have your own cryophobe.”

“Too bad I didn't bottle up some of that -26F shit. Just crack open the lid and *WHOOSH!*. :) Even better, drop some bottles of -26F onto Orlando Florida and watch the cryophobes scream doomsday when the temperature drops to 70F from 100F!”
