"Petronoia" Irrational fear of peak oil

Unread postby Daculling » Tue 28 Feb 2006, 14:29:51

Just kidding... but they do have a term for you people now. Your paranoid!

Placing third on the list was "petronoia," a phrase inspired by the film "Syriana" and meaning an irrational fear of the collapse of the oil industry followed by global economic crisis. Reuters

"Petronoia" - Hollywood word of the year?

Well, not quite. It lost out to "Brokeback" and "Brangelina." But it was #3 on the list:

Hey, just because you're petronoic doesn't mean the world's not running out of oil... :wink:

Or as it's more commonly quoted

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')ust because you're paranoid does not mean they're not out to get you
