I know it's "watching" and not "following", as I am a superior Far Side fan to you.

Im sure its a real word but Im equally sure that there hasnt been a single human in existence who legitimately had that fear

perhaps a general fear of ducks

It literally does just translate to "fear of duck-like birds." It's not an actual thing, it was made up in a comic strip, and people have just kept repeating it since then because it sounds funny.

That's how words work though. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, if someone coins a word and other people use it, it's a word.

I think I might have heard of that before but I could be wrong.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words.

Isn't it simply just Duck Phobia, not towards a specific action of the duck?
