so + germaphobic + that + clause

Often used informally or self-deprecatingly to describe a strong attention to cleanliness, not necessarily a diagnosed phobia.

❌I am very germaphobic about.

✅I am very germaphobic about touching dirty surfaces.

💡The preposition 'about' requires an explicit object.
