Aracknaphonya<\/strong>: \/ah-rak-na-PHONE-ya<\/em>\/ Pheobe’s first impression of her blind date, Winston, was that he looked like a giant insect and was actually frightening and as a result she hovered near the phone awaiting a prearranged ‘just in case’ phone call that would offer her an ‘escape clause’.
