The shutter sound on a digital camera or mobile phone is not functionally necessary, as there is no physical shutter like older camera used to have. "Skeuomorph" is the word used to describe such a design feature that was adapted from another object. Other skeuomorphs include the trash can desktop icon that is used to represent the Trash folder on Apple computers. If you wanted a nicer word for someone who is afraid of everything, you could use "nebbish" to describe their timid personality. Another interesting word is "oenophile", used to describe a wine lover. Now you can enjoy your wine without being called an alcoholic!
