I'm looking for a word for short moans. I think generally moans are longer (more than a second-ish). The word I'm looking for is for very short moans that you make say when you're very feverish. Or when you're lifting something very heavy. It's like the voice equivalent of gasping for breath. Is ...
A guy who is living with fear about future girlfriend or wife may leave him if she finds a man better than him in all possible ways.
What is the suitable name of this phobia?
@KannE Ah right, will try to take it in my stride. One of those things, unfamiliar stack, not sure of the vagaries of questions. Thanks for weighing in, and for the well wishes :)
@bertieb I think it's a reasonable question, but there is also a hefty amount of subjectivity in there, so I can understand why people voted to close it. I didn't vtc; I just saw it.

Satanic Verses is readable, but it's not among the books I would buy as a present in order to feel pleasure at the other person's acquaintance with a new world.

To put it in context:
Those astrophysicists telling me to believe in string theory, multiverse...
@bertieb OTOH, I remember watching a very smart, "almost 4" y/o girl carefully change the dressing on her own foot (because she lost 2 1/2 little toes when a tombstone fell on it in a cemetery). I guess I had a pained look on my face...totally inappropriate because she just smiled and said this--Don't worry; it's okay, no biggie, like my doctor said--really.

@KannE Out of the mouth of babes, as they say... Fair play to her for taking it in her stride
(no pun intended)
@Mitch Thanks for raising awareness and the comments :)

Have gone from that long hand bandage to two finger bandages
