I can't even pronounce the word "peristerophobia", so I guess I'm doing
fine so far. Although now I feel a strange need to use the word
"peristerophobia" around her just to prove that I can pronounce it
correctly. Should I give it a try, just once, or will it ruin my
chances with her? I think I could make it fit in a conversation of some
sort. I could just throw in a line like "You know, I've been thinking about peristerophobia lately, and I find it rather intriguing."

Some girls like words like peristerophobia. Maybe she is one of them. If that's the case, make sure to also use words such as lexicographer, emulsifier, incommensurable and urbanisation.

And end up the conversation with some bland filler and then add the phrase "...ok, friday night, dinner and my penis."

I have a huge "peristerophobia"...
Anyway, yeah, you may be able to use that to your advantage, but you'll probably need someone famous to use the word first, so she'll know it's not a geeky word you learned on a geeky music forum. Maybe you could dub some MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice videos to make them say "peristerophobia" instead. You'll probably need to make the recording and dubs yourself, so it might sound a little weird, but use good hardware and time it well, and she'll never catch on.

But why would she watch MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice videos?  Wouldn't it be better to dub the word "peristerophobia" in some song that she probably likes? Too bad she doesn't like The Mars Volta (or at least that's the impression I've got). If she did I wouldn't have to do the dubbing because the word "peristerophobia" is already used in most of their songs.

Hehe, yeah, i suspect it will appear in at least half of the song titles in the next album.
Well, i guess you'll need to find out what kind of music she likes, then. I reckon "peristerophobia" would fit in a lot of songs by Nick Cave, as it's a very ominously-sounding word. How about "Get ready for peristerophobia" or "I let peristerophobia in" ? Edit: the latter also include the words "castrated" and "lobotomised".

That reminds me, I know she likes Nick Cave. Sadly I can't do a believable imitation of him, so I'll have to wait for the next album and see if there's a peristerophobia-related song there.
Or maybe I'll just write my own song about peristerophobia and get someone really cool to perform it. Or better still, I could sing it to her under her window in a romantic fashion.

Come on, I'm not going to Sweden, I don't love her THAT much!  I saw Nick Cave on the last tour. Pure brilliance.

sh*t, i got into Nick Cave last year so i never even had a shot at that one. It would have been so amazing, Abbatoir blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus is such a masterpiece.
Anyway, Sweden isn't that far. It's only across the muminvalley, to the right of the filifjonornas house, right by the cottage of mister stinky.

Yeah, I think I have a vague idea of where Sweden is. It's that country on the left side of Finland, right? So I'll just keep on walking left and eventually I'm there.

Well, that's obviously not the hard part. You will probably need to know where to stop as well, because otherwise you might end up in Norway, and if that happens, trust me, you're better off just running past that point. Straight into the atlantic.

If I see several fishermen that speak in a funny way, I know I'm in Norway. Either that, or I'm having a really strange nightmare.
=> Life in Norway is like a dream.

Then let me put my deductions in the language of intelligent people:
1. All Norwegians speak in a funny way.
2. There are several fishermen in Norway.
---------------------------------------------------------
3. In Norway there are several fishermen that speak in a funny way. (1&2)
4. If I walk left from Finland I end up in Norway, in Sweden or in the sea.
5. There are no fishermen in the sea.
6. Swedish people don't talk in a funny way (at least not in the same way as Norwegians).
---------------------------------------------------------
7. If I walk left from Finland and see several fishermen that speak in a funny way, I'm in Norway. (3,4,5&6)
8. It is possible to have a nightmare of several fishermen talking in a funny way.
9. Nightmares are dreams.
---------------------------------------------------------
10. It is possible to dream of several fishermen talking in a funny way. (8&9)
---------------------------------------------------------
11. It is possible to dream of a place like Norway. (3&10)
---------------------------------------------------------
12. Norway resembles a place in a dream. (11)
---------------------------------------------------------
13. Life in Norway is like a dream. (12)

Doesn't that depend on which way you were facing before you turned left and walked?

No. Norway is left from Finland, so if I'm in Finland and start walking left, I'm walking towards Norway.

Yes, but left is a relative and not an absolute direction. If you are facing North as I assume you are then you do walk left towards Sweden and Norway. If you were facing South then you'd walk left towards Russia,
