Phobia Memes

The chemical wordplay here is *chef's kiss* magnificent! When someone says they fear hydroxyl groups (OH), and the therapist responds with "oh" – they've inadvertently triggered the patient's phobia! That's why the person reacts with such terror. It's like telling someone with arachnophobia "don't worry about the spider" while pointing behind them. For the chemistry newbies: hydroxyl groups are literally written as "-OH" in chemical formulas. They're everywhere in organic chemistry – alcohols, carbohydrates, even your DNA! Imagine being terrified every time someone offers you a drink or says "OH MY!" Chemistry anxiety at its finest!
